17 February 2025. Gaborone, Botswana.The stakes are higher, the tension is thicker, and the drama is about to hit a new level. Makoti, Are You The One? is back for Season 3 and it’s bringing the heat!
Four brave women walk into their potential in-laws’ homes, each hoping to win the ultimate prize: the family’s blessing to marry their sons. But as we know, nothing worth having comes easy—especially when it comes to family, love, and tradition. Get ready for a rollercoaster of raw emotion, culture clashes and real talk about relationships. This season promises even more of the unpredictable, high-stakes drama that made it a fan favorite. It’s not just about finding love; it’s about surviving 21 days of intense scrutiny and cultural expectations to prove you’re truly worthy of becoming part of a new family. In each gripping episode, the brides-to-be face the ultimate test: will they earn the family’s blessing, or will the pressure send them packing? Makoti, Are You The One? takes the age-old practice of ‘ukukotiza’ and cranks it up with modern relationship challenges. But it's not all smooth sailing. The 21-day living arrangement quickly becomes a pressure cooker of emotions where every word, every gesture and every decision counts. Meet the new couples: •
Tamara Samuels & Koketso Matlaila – They locked eyes four years ago, made it official two years later and now, their love story is ready for the spotlight! • Phindile Kunene & Themba Magengenene – Three years ago their paths crossed and for over two years, they’ve been writing their own romantic fairytale. • Zizo Mpumlo & Pholani Mapisa – A party in 2020 was just the beginning.

Now, will wedding bells be next? Some may crumble under the weight and others will rise to the challenge, but at the end of the day the final decision rests with the groom. Will he stand by his partner and give her the green light, or will his family’s judgment send her packing? The third season of Makoti, Are You The One?
