Meet SA’s hot new ‘Bachelor’

Marc Buckner will be South Africa’s second ‘Bachelor’ when the series’ second season premieres early next year

LADIES across the country drooled when M-Net named the down-toearth, but blazing-hot Marc Buckner, as the next Bachelor SA.

After the success of season one, it was no surprise M-Net when announced a second season of The

Bachelor South Africa, roping in the gorgeous Buckner to entice single women, looking for love.

Buckner, a multiple-property owner and currency trader and investor is easy-on-the-eye, mature, witty, energetic, smart, adventurous and compassionate, globe-trotting action man, who is look for a lady to settle down with.

When he’s not exploring foreign destinations – often in the company of one of his favourite people in the world, his mom – or analysing economic trends to boost his bank account – you will find Buckner in the great outdoors.

Hiking, kayaking, snorkeling, skydiving or enjoying a “picnic with a view” count among his best-loved activities.

It’s just as important to him to build trusting, close relationships. Cooking a meal alongside a loved one and having meaningful conversations over a glass of wine near a crackling fireplace is right up his alley.

Another bonus for the ladies: he loves DIY projects and even builds his own furniture. Growing his own vegetable garden is on his to-do-list for when he finds “the one” and starts his own family.

Buckner tried his hand at modelling, doing commercials for many prominent brands and tested his acting chops in small parts in a few music videos and movies.

“It opened many doors for me and allowed me to go to exotic places and meet many interesting people, but now I’m about to open the most exciting door of them all – the opportunity to meet my other half on The Bachelor South Africa.I have no preconceived ideas of who this woman should be.

“Sometimes opposites attract and I can’t wait to invest quality time in getting to know the diverse group of powerful South African ladies who are as keen as I am to put their hearts on the line for love on a television show,” said Buckner.

Produced by Rapid Blue, Jason Greer will be at Buckner’s side, reprising the role of the show’s levelheaded host.

Greer will be facilitating the rose ceremonies and serve as the mentor figure to Buckner throughout his

journey. Single or divorced ladies who want to be a part of the show can visit the M-Net website (mnet.tv). Entries close tonight at midnight.
