Fear not, DStv has you covered this February as it launches a new reality television series dubbed ‘Ultimate Love’ to help a group of people find love.

Liz Dziva, of MultiChoice Zimbabwe, said the show, created in Nigeria but with interest for viewers all over Africa, would premiere on Sunday, February 9 and would offer a 24/7 insight into the participants’ quest for lasting and meaningful relationships.

“The series follows the journey of single men and women living in an isolated location in a quest to find life-long love and build relationships as couples, hoping this will lead to marriage,” said MultiChoice Zimbabwe public relations manager, Liz Dziva.

“They will be joined by a resident counsellor called Aunty, who will assist each of them in finding the perfect partner and provide counselling sessions and support. The winning couple will be rewarded with a lavish wedding ceremony and a fully-furnished home if they commit to getting married.”

For this maiden edition, a total of 16 strangers – eight men and eight women – will feature live on television for 24 hours throughout the duration of the show, taking part in a series of activities that test their compatibility as couples, with viewers voting off their least favourite couple each week.

“Zimbabweans just love a successful love story, and this series could provide them with a great deal of fun and satisfaction as they follow the screen couples’ successes and failures,” added Dziva.

Ultimate Love will be available, live 24/7, on DStv Premium, Compact Plus and Compact packages, featured on channel 198.
