Our Perfect Wedding groom jailed for fraud

Cape Town – The wedding show Our Perfect Wedding on Mzansi Magic again raised eyebrows on Sunday after a bride was ditched at the altar with the groom arrested for fraud.

The now controversial show – for which pay-TV broadcaster M-Net apologised earlier this month calling an episode “offensive and wrong” for glamourising South African rape culture – once again shocked viewers as a groom ditched his bride at the altar and got arrested for fraud and forgery.

Our Perfect Wedding is produced by Basetsana Kumalo’s Connect TV production company for M-Net’s Mzansi Magic channel supplied to MultiChoice’s DStv satellite pay-TV platform.

In the latest episode on Sunday night the show saw a bride, Neriah Ratanang, shamed when her physiotherapist groom didn’t show up at the wedding set for 5 December, claiming he was hijacked. 

In fact Wanda Mhobo was arrested for fraud and forgery this past Friday evening. 

He is set to appear in the Midrand magistrate’s court today on charges of fraud and forgery. Mhobo will appear in court after allegedly forging proof of payment slips from Capitec Bank for his wedding planner, Ambrosia Hall and Catering.

The 6th season of Our Perfect Wedding is set to start on Mzansi Magic on Sunday 3 January at 19:00.
