For hosts with the most: Come Dine With Me South Africa 

What happens when four strangers take turns hosting dinner parties at their homes for a week? Pure entertainment, of course. Come Dine With Me South Africa features a new cast of contestants each week, serving tasty dishes, drama, and plenty of laughs as they dine and rate each other’s hosting abilities. At the end of the week, the winner walks away with the title of “Best Dinner Party Host” – and a R10,000 cash prize, of course. 

For the weekend-braai enthusiast: The Ultimate Braai Master SA 

Looking for an outdoor cooking adventure where flavour and fire (literally) collide? The Ultimate Braai Master heats things up as teams of two (a Braai Master and their Braai Buddy) compete in a series of cooking challenges to find the ultimate braai champion. A bonus? Each season takes contestants across South Africa’s most scenic landscapes, letting you see some of Mzansi’s most beautiful spots as well.
