The special has been teased for the better part of the month, following the release of the official trailer on Tuesday, 15 June 2021.

According to the shared promotional statement, “Their relationship hasn’t always been a fairytale, with an incident of gender-based violence trending on social media in 2019. The trailer suggests Mampintsha is still dealing with the aftermath of that controversy, as his initial letter to Babes’ family is rejected; we see him apologising to Babes’ parents; and we see Babes worrying about whether her family will turn Mampintsha’s family away at the gate…”


The three-part series is set to premiere on Showmax on Wednesday, 30 June 2021.
