Being the host of Our Perfect Wedding is not easy. One person who knows this is former presenter Tumi Morake, who has been replaced by Ayanda Mpama.
The former SA Idols contestant and musician made her debut on Sunday (5 July), and she had a very tough audience.
Ayanda MUST GO....angeke....i can't ...#OPW pls hire me!

I miss Tumi. There's absolutely nothing wrong with Ayanda but Tumi would have been hilarious. She was needed for this episode #OPW

Ayanda looks like she's part of the wedding party and the Mam'mfundisi is the host of #OPW

I like Aya Mpama but I don't think she is pulling of this opw gig. She has the personality of a rock. #opw

Tumi knows all about pleasing tough viewers as she also had some negative comments when she first started on the show. She has asked viewers to give Aya a chance. Responding to Julius Malema's #bringbackTumi tweet, she said:
Aowa my leader, give this one a chance. Even I was met with resistance when I started. Lerato ke leo 👊🏾 #OPW https://t.co/eyrITKON0j

We agree with Tumi. Please give Aya a chance.
