Twins, Owami and Olwethu Siko (32) married when they were 21 and made headlines for falling in love with one man.
After nine years of marriage, they divorced the father of their two daughters, who are now 10 and two months apart.
They tell W24 that it was not easy for them when the marriage ended in 2019.

"We had to go for counselling to find who we were after that marriage. It helped us prepare for the future," Olwethu says. "It has been two years since our divorce, and this is a moment we had been waiting for."
They are referring to the fact that they have always wanted to be in front of the camera. When the Siko twins met their ex-husband, he was a director of a popular local soapie.

They now have their own reality TV show, Twice As Bold, which premiered in April and is based on their journey to finding a suitable husband.
"We have always said it is our dream to marry one man. It has always been our ultimate wish. We don't want to be separated by anything, and only death can separate us. We call ourselves two bodies, one soul," Owami says.
The stakes are high. Whoever wants to marry them "better have his story right", they tell us.

"The search for our husband is promising because we are getting a lot of DMs since the show aired. However, we have not met someone who fits the profile. They are still taking chances," Owami adds.
Suitors need to be family-oriented and, most importantly, they need to have fat wallets. "We want someone who puts family first. And money when it comes to that, we won't run away from it, and how he treats a woman is essential," Owami explains.
Their two daughters also had to go through therapy, and they are "fine" now. "Our kids are coping. They had to go to therapy; now they are looking forward to having a stepfather, but if you want us, please know your story."
