Season two of the curl-up-on-the-sofa TV show Married at First Sight South Africa has come to an end. Portia Baloyi spills the tea on her rollercoaster ride on the Showmax reality show.
What has your experience on the show been like?
It's been a rollercoaster. Coming into this, I knew it wasn't going to be easy, but I also didn't expect it to be this intense. You're marrying a complete stranger [Bongani Luvalo] and then you have to figure each other out in front of the whole country. There have been amazing moments, but also real challenges. It's stretched me emotionally and spiritually, but I've also grown so much.
What are some of the things you learned about yourself?
There are things I've already learned about myself, like how I deal with certain situations. I've also learned that I can communicate better when I give myself space to breathe first, instead of reacting. So yeah, a lot of personal growth.
Going into the reunion, how did you feel?
