The pods are open in South Africa. And they were built here.

Netflix has announced Love Is Blind: South Africa - the first South African edition of the global social experiment - and afrOkaans is the production company behind it.

Dineo and Solo Langa host. Real singles. No photos, no profiles, no scrolling. Just a voice on the other side of a wall, and a decision that has to survive daylight.

"Real people, taking a real emotional risk, showing real vulnerability in search of real love." - Handrie Basson, Showrunner

From a production house in Cape Town to a global Netflix release. Later this year.

Ever watched a reality show and wondered how they made that person sound so profound in their interview?

There's a good chance they had a little help from the edit suite.
In Episode 2 of UnScripted, Leroux Botha sits down with Andrew Dixon — Head of Post-Production at afrOkaans and one of South Africa's most experienced unscripted editors. Andrew pulls back the curtain on how reality television is really put together. Frankenbiting. Stolen looks. The moments that never make air. And the story of how he ended up in hospital, accused of corporate espionage, unable to work — for something he didn't do.

It's a conversation for anyone who's ever worked in post, wondered what happens behind the scenes, or just loves a good story about how the sausage gets made.

🎙️ New episode out now. Link in the comments.
UnScripted — No Script. No Safety Net.
