Designed as a special treat for the holiday season, the six-part star-studded spin-off Celebrity MasterChef South Africa will conclude on Saturday when media personality Dineo Ranaka will take on content creator Seth Shezi. The pair competed in the semi-final in the last episode, with Shezi winning the challenge and Ranaka coming in second. In the semi-final, Ranaka, Shezi, singer Holly Rey, and fashion designer Mzukisi Mbane competed for the two spots in the finale.
In the first four episodes, 12 well-known South Africans with a passion for food and culinary flair were divided into four groups. The celebrities had to bowl over the judges one group at a time with scrumptious meals. These would secure one competitor in the group a spot in the penultimate cook-off.
From there, the two stars serving the best dishes in the semi-final advanced to the final. Some famous participants on the show included retired soccer player Reneilwe ‘Yeye’ Letsholonyane, actor Bohang Moeko, and rock musician and poet Danie du Toit. The show is judged by the same trio that judges the MasterChef show: Zola Nene, Justine Drake, and Katlego Mlambo.
