Bathong, Mzansi's fan-favourite reality TV show, Married At First Sight, has been making headlines on social media since its debut on Mzansi Magic, and one of the cast members, Tshepo Miya, has had many viewers at home on the edge of their seats.
On Sunday, 7 September 2025, the entertainment commentator Jabu Macdonald couldn't hold it anymore as he recently went on a rant about Miya's "dodgy" character on the show. He further shared how he has been toxic since the show started and the ways he treats his wife, Palesa Mphaki.
This isn't the first time Miya received massive backlash from netizens online, as in August 2025, he revealed that he started noticing red flags in his marriage with Mphaki.

"#MarriedAtFirstSightMzansi Tshepo is one dodgy person. His mother was not keen on the Makoti experience, and his one friend suddenly didn’t show up. He is definitely behind all these excuses."

"On top of that, he had the audacity to say, as he was about to excuse himself from the table 'please don’t eat my wings.'"
@T57941 responded:
"He has been dodgy since he asked about polygamy."
@Mam_Bhele replied:
"Worse, a mother who was at the wedding all smiles and happy for the couple, Jiki jiki, now the mother wants tradition to be followed. Oh, Palesa, my Dali, they don’t want you."
@queen95453193 commented:
"He doesn’t love Palesa honestly, and at some point, I think like he even regrets meeting her n for what reasons I don't know."
@becomingShika mentioned:
"I respect his mom. I think she knows that her son is dodgy. And she wants things done the right way."
@jerajessie2603 shared:
"People like him really irritate me. Why did he go there to waste our time? he is very immature."

Nelisa Ntabeni on why she joined Married At First Sight SA
While many netizens have been engaged in a heated debate about Tshepo Miya's character and behaviour, his fellow cast member, Nelisa Ntabeni, also shared with Briefly News why she decided to join this show and be a part of this unusual experiment.
She said:
"I joined because I believe in love and marriage, even when life is tough. When the chance came, I saw it as an opportunity to trust the process, step out in faith, and let the experts find someone who sees me beyond the surface. Saying yes was choosing hope and reminding myself that love is worth believing in."
