Your Saturday is about to get exciting with a new game show that will keep you glued to the TV screen. DStv is bringing its customers The Saturday Showdown: an exciting sports-game show hybrid designed for those who love the beautiful game just as much as they love showing off their general knowledge skills.
The Saturday Showdown will be presented by comedian, radio host and actor Skhumba Hlophe and SuperSport’s own Thato Moeng, who has made her mark in the sports broadcasting industry with her smart reporting and engaging style, and counts such events as the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia as part of her portfolio. They will be joined in-studio by a live audience and celebrity team captains who will be ready to do whatever it takes to lead their teams to victory.
Five celebrity team captains will push eager teams – made up of sports enthusiasts, chosen from DStv Rewards customers, who are definitely not scared of the spotlight – higher and higher up the leaderboard, guiding them through team stunts and testing their general knowledge along the way.
The captains are smart, vibrant and entertaining personalities who know how to command a room and have a few niche general knowledge tips up their sleeves to help their teams. Gomora’s Sicelo Buthelezi, Big Brother Mzansi’s favourite, Sis Tamara, actress, dancer and presenter, Bontle Modiselle, South African football legend, Doctor Khumalo and popular musician and performer, Makhadzi, are all standing by to show South Africa what it takes to create a winning team.
DStv Compact customers get front-row tickets to The Saturday Showdown.
Make sure you tune in each week, pick your favourite team and watch them give it their all to win. This is the only league you want to follow this winter! There will be high-energy competition, brainteasers, audience participation and so much more. And with a R3.5 million grand prize at stake, weekends will never be dull again.
