Stina is a show about tests of loyalty, shocking confessions and jaw-dropping betrayals.
When someone has been secretly eyeing your bae, will they confess, or will they cross the line?
Each week Stina brings you some of the most shocking and unexpected confessions as the 'Wanter' - someone madly in love with a taken partner - lays it all bare.
As the cameras roll, they reveal their true feelings hoping to 'steal the Wanted' from their current relationship.
And just when you think you've seen it all, a third party steps in to spill more tea, exposing secrets, backstories and the real dynamics behind the love entanglement.
Presented by social media comedian Sipho "Alphi" Mkhwanazi, Stina is where emotions will run wild, love gets tested, boundaries crossed, and hearts get broken.
Expect some of the most chaotic love confession stories like that of a "work spouse" who's tired of playing pretend, a childhood bestie who wants more than just memories, a neighbour trying to prove that love knows no fences and many more.

Rian van Heerden is back with his talk show in which he not only talks to newsmakers, but also to interesting people he has come across.
All of this happens around a plate of food in his eatery in Pretoria, called Delizioso.
There are two guests in every episode and the second guest is always a surprise for the first.
The first guest is someone who is in the news, but the second guest is usually an eccentric or extraordinary person who is invited to keep the conversations in a light vein, to serve as a surprise or to take the conversation to the next level.
When it comes to the newsmakers, for example, the guests are not all from the political world.
Among the guests joining him around the table this season are singer Heinz Winckler and his wife, Aletté, who were in the news because of the strong opposition to their book launch.
There's also veteran radio host Darren Scott, who is navigating a health crisis but refuses to lie down.
Also featured are TikTok star Terrible Tess, and singer-songwriter Jan Blohm, who has had his fair share of ups and downs throughout his career.
