Love IslandSouth Africa has come under fire for its largely white cast, with many claiming the show is not representing the diversity of the "rainbow nation".
The dating series is airing on screens in South Africa at the moment, but viewers couldn't help but notice one thing the first batch of islanders - they were predominantly white.
Sharing the publicity photographs from the spin-off show on Twitter, fans had a lot to say about the lineup, of which Durang Atembe, 22, Asad Boomgaard, 24, and 26-year-old Thimna Shooto are the only black or mixed race people cast so far.
