Power Couple SA is a recipe for laughs

The show will test not only the couples’ physical ability and endurance, but their trust, communication skills and faith in each other. It’s a recipe for laughs, fireworks and heart-warming moments. Power Couple SA is hosted by Ryan O’Connor, introduces the eight couples, who will be competing for the title of SA’s next Power Couple, and the more than a million rand prize money that they could walk away with.
