Own talk show

It just happened that i found my innocent self watching Motswako last night. I thought they had a very interesting topic. It was something like " How do find yourself a date?). Well there was some guy who is apparently an expert in matchmaking business and Mara Louw ( Former Muvhango's Catherine and Pop idols ever sweet judge. Made myself a nice cup of coffee because i knew that i was going to enjoy the topic since i'm also a love-seeker. To my amazement, the show started shifting and i only realized that it was a set up to get Mara Louw a date because they only talked about her and what kind of a mna she is looking for. For goodness sake, the woman is supposed to be chilling at home and live all of that to her grandchildren, it's even more embarrassing to go live on National Television and tell that you need a man who will love and take care of you. My other disappointment was to Carol Bouwer Productions for having allowed such a thing to happen in the show because i'm sure she had to approve the questions and the angle the hosts are supposed to take when asking questions. I have then decided that there is a huge need for more talk shows and my dating platform to begin and i know exactly who am i going to invite. But i need you to tell me if you were to have a talk show like the yesterday's one. Who were you gonna have in studio and what topics and questions were you gonna ask them. Again, if you were to make a love match show, who would you rather have as a match?

There's more to a talk show than a lame and lousy discussion. Late Night with Kgomotso is a typical example of a good show or how it's supposed to be.

She likes things this woman. But she looks good for a gogo....

The show was really a disappointment. They need a serious re-vamp.

National Television and tell that you need a man who will love and take care of you

@njinga...
you are not the only one..i was so embarrassed on Mar's behalf... when
Motswako host(is it kelebogile, her name?) asked
 Host: what kind of a man are you looking for
Mara: im looking for a man who will treat me like an egg and i'll treat him just the same.

i know we all need to love and feel loved but for Mara going on TV for that was a bit extreme from my point of view.... she was supposed to have that conv over tea with her friends. tjo

Definitely into the grave. I am so interested in wanting to know their AR's just after 9:15pm. I'm sure they dropped because people decided to switch to other channels. As for me and my case of also being single, it makes me miserable to know that i am going to spend Valentines in the park with a bucket of ice cream and a rose from myself to myself. Maybe Mara Louw might be interested in joining me for a miserable chat.

Thank golly i missed the mamaMara part, i only saw the part about speed dating, moving from table to table psyching out people for 5minutes just seems a bit boring for me but hey it seems to work for that beautiful black chic they had on the show.

She is a TV figure hence she got invited to come and talk about it on TV, you guys shouldn't make it seem like she is the only one her age who is still looking for love..
She can hook up with the president
