In a thrilling finale, Netflix’s Love Never Lies: South Africa crowned Gontse and Munaka as the winners, with the couple taking home a whopping 720,000 Rand after maintaining an almost pristine record of honesty throughout the show.
Hosted by the charismatic Minenhle 'Minnie' Dlamini, Netflix's latest addition to their reality dating show roster, Love Never Lies: South Africa, put six couples through the ultimate relationship test, separating them into two villas - Umjolo and Umgowo - where they faced temptations in the form of attractive singles.
The show's unique twist? An EyeDetect test that could either add 30,000 Rand to the prize pot for each truth or subtract 10,000 Rand for every lie. Talk about putting your money where your mouth is!
What happened in the finale of Love Never Lies: South Africa?
The tension was palpable as couples reunited for their final truth test. Munaka and Gontse, who would eventually emerge victorious, set the bar high by answering all their questions truthfully. But not everyone could match their honesty streak in the finale of Love Never Lies: South Africa.
The reunion brought particular drama for Kuda and Lynn. Despite Kuda's attempt to clear the air with an apology "for not creating a safe space" for conversation, Lynn's resentment over his snuggling request with another woman came to light. When asked if she wanted to break up with Kuda, Lynn's negative response triggered the lie detector, proving that sometimes actions speak louder than words.
In a touching moment, Wilfred could barely contain his emotions about reuniting with Clayton. When questioned about his shaky demeanor, Wilfred revealed he "had missed Clayton deeply and was overcome with emotion at the thought of seeing him again." Their honesty paid off, adding a cool 60,000 Rand to the prize pot.
The parade of couples continued with Nikiwe and Naledi, whose claims of missing each other turned out to be less than truthful. Meanwhile, Pretty and Siya sailed through their questions honestly, even discussing future family plans. Nancy and Bohlale rounded out the truth-telling streak with their honest answers.
Gontse and Munaka take home 720,000 rand
After a season filled with tears, temptations, and truth bombs, Gontse and Munaka emerged as the couple with the most honest track record on Love Never Lies: South Africa, having told only one lie throughout their entire journey.
Their victory wasn't just about the impressive 720,000 Rand prize – it was a testament to their commitment to honesty in a show designed to expose even the smallest of fibs.
Their journey to victory on Love Never Lies: South Africa wasn't exactly a straight path - more like a roller coaster with extra loops and some unexpected drops. While Gontse's magnetic personality had a few participants wondering if their compass needed recalibrating, and Munaka found herself contemplating the meaning of security with another contestant, the duo managed to keep their eyes (and lie detectors) focused on the prize.
Their victory speech on Love Never Lies: South Africa was about as candid as their EyeDetect results. Munaka, sporting a smile that could power a small city, playfully suggested that Gontse might have earned her trust... but don't put away those lie detectors just yet. Not to be outdone in the humor department, Gontse declared that while love might not lie, he's definitely keeping his receipts - perhaps the most honest statement of the entire season.
Taking home 720,000 Rand proves that sometimes, telling the truth (or at least mostly telling the truth) really does pay off. Who knew honesty could be such a lucrative business strategy?
