African parents have survived colonialism, inflation, and group family meetings — but dating apps might be their final test

On Season 1 Episode 6 of The Makambo Show, Ted Makambo dives into one of the biggest cultural debates in the African diaspora today: Modern dating apps vs African traditions

From Tinder and Bumble to aunties and family vetting, this episode breaks down:

• How African parents expect dating to work
• Why “Swipe Right” feels disrespectful to tradition
• Aunties vs algorithms — who does matchmaking better?
• The diaspora struggle of finding love while honoring culture
• A heated (and hilarious) debate on whether dating apps help or harm African values
• A mini skit every African child will recognize instantly

This episode blends African comedy, cultural truth, and modern reality — because technology may evolve, but African parents?
They move at their own pace.
