How To Ruin Love: The Proposal is Netflix’s newest South African series, launching on the service on 31 May 2024.
This is the first South African spin-off, born from the creative minds of the Ramaphakela siblings and their production house, Burnt Onion Productions.
The series follows the ever-so-cynical Zoleka (Sivenathi Mabuya), who lets her insecurities get the best of her and sabotages her engagement to her long-term boyfriend Kagiso (Bohang Moeko), just days before Valentine’s Day. Distraught, Zoleka cooks up a series of hair-brained schemes (with the help of her friends, family, and future in-laws) to try and win back his trust – before Kagiso walks away for good.
This fresh and vibrant series stars some of South Africa’s legendary performers, including Marjorie Langa, John Morapama, Tina Jaxa, and Dumisani Mbebe. It also features fan-favourites Thando Thabethe, Sandile Mahlangu and S’dumo Mtshali.
