The fifth season of the popular show ended on Sunday with Tumi Morake as the host. Affectionately known as Aya, the new OPW host hails from Kwa-Zulu Natal and holds a Music and Drama Degree from UKZN. The singer whose talent saw her finish in the Top 6 during SA Idols (2005), she went on to release her debut album in 2007.
Since then she’s performed as a musician and worked as an MC at numerous corporate functions around South Africa, for both local and international VIPs.
Having also worked as an actress and radio DJ, Aya is thrilled with her new job on Our Perfect Wedding.
“OPW is a successful show that has made Mzansi fall in love with it. I love ‘love’ and being a part of this production means that every weekend I get to meet many different couples from different backgrounds and get to know them which I find exciting. It also means that every Sunday I get to interact with multitudes of viewers. It’s any performers dream to be able to reach so many people at one time.”
Previous Our Perfect Wedding hosts include Brenda Ngxoli, Phumeza Mdabe and Thuli Thabethe.
