Single Parents Looking for Love

Channel: BET (DStv 129)
TX Time: 21h30
Genre: Dating Game Show, Reality

Single Parents Looking for Love

It's not easy for a single parent to find someone - aside from what they want in a partner, they have to find someone who doesn't mind that they are raising a child.

And it's not just about someone who is comfortable with your child - it needs to be someone you can trust with your child as well, meaning you have to take great care in the dating process.

In Single Parents Looking for Love, each week one single parent goes through a series of challenges to whittle down four potential dates and to eventually end up with a new lover.

Hosted by Jo-anne Reyneke in her first presenting gig, the potential suitors will also face off with a panel made up of children who at the end will rate the suitors and give their parent feedback based on their interaction.
 

Behind the Amapiano Movement

Channel: MTV Base (DStv 322)
TX Time: 21h00
Genre: Music, Documentary Series

Behind the Amapiano Movement

According to MTV Base, Amapiano is the fastest-growing music genre following Gqom, which took the nation by storm a few years ago.

This docu-series features commentary from artists like De Mthuda and Njelic hit makers of Shesha Geza, prominent Amapiano DJ and producer Kabza De Small, DJ duo Major League, award-winning vocalist Lady Zamar, DJ Zinhle, DJ Vinny Da Vinci and more.

What is Amapiano and where did it all start? DJs, producers and music promoters from four of Gauteng's biggest townships (Soweto, Pretoria, East Rand and Alexandra) claim to be the originators of Amapiano but the jury is still out on that one.

The genre has jazzy keys and a strong kwaito influence with its vocals - was the sub-culture born from the soulful sounds of Bacardi or is it just the evolution of deep South African House music?

The genre is rapidly growing and the "gong gong" sound is disrupting the music scene across borders on the continent.

Amapiano fans insist that it is a movement on its own. It's a cross culture lifestyle which has influenced dance floors and has brought a new energy to the club scene.

Will Amapiano fizzle out when the next hungry and pragmatic generation come up with a next creative sound or will it lead to another redefining cultural movement?

Genre: True Crime, Docu-Drama

Twisted Sisters 2

Sisterhood just got very sinister in this series, which delves into the most outrageous crimes ever committed by the unlikeliest of pairs.

As this show - executive-produced by Khloé Kardashian - reveals, kinship can kill... and sisters fuelled by jealousy or hatred are the most dangerous of all.

Each episode investigates how and why a pair of sisters, bound by blood, has descended into darkness.

Sometimes they work together to commit a crime but often the duo can turn against one another with the deadliest of outcomes.

As investigators recount how they unravelled each case, interviews with family members and close friends unearth what triggered their path towards a life of crime.

In the Season 2 premiere, "Go to Daddy": The black sheep of the family has spent a lifetime in the shadow of her prodigal younger sister.

As the relationship with her mother takes a turn for the worse, things build to a boil that will leave one family member dead.
 

Jeff Dunham: Beside Himself

Channel: Netflix South Africa
TX Time: 10h00
Genre: Comedy, Special

Jeff Dunham: Beside Himself

Ventriloquist and renowned comedy star Jeff Dunham takes the stage in Dallas with his old pals Peanut, Walter, José Jalapeño, Bubba J and Achmed to poke fun at himself and American culture.

Jeff talks parenting and pink eye, all the while skewering political correctness as only he can, in his second Netflix Original stand-up comedy special.

Filmed at the American Airlines Center in his hometown, Dallas, Texas, Dunham is literally beside himself with his posse of unusual suspects: Walter, Bubba J, Peanut, José Jalapeño on a Stick, Achmed the Dead Terrorist, and newest addition Larry - the high strung, chain-smoking, on-again, off-again personal advisor to the President.
