New show alert: Saturday Showdown R3.5 million jackpot price leaves Mzansi awestruck
Mzansi Magic announced a new game show that will be airing on their channel. It’s been a while since Mzansi saw a fun interactive game show on their small screens. Saturday Showdown has a whopping R 3.5 million prize up for grabs for the contestants. With all that money up for grabs, contestants can win the games which aren’t too complicated.
Presenters of the show
Comedian Skhumba Hlophe will be the presenter of the show along with Thato Moeng the sports anchor. Both Skhumba and Thato have something unique to bring to the show. Skhumba contributes with his puns and humour. Thato will contribute with her knowledge of how games should be played and commentating.
Putting this presenter combination was unexpected for the producers. Seeing the characteristics of the presenters we can understand their decision.

Games played
The show has the plug and Mzansi is more than willing to watch it. No doubt Mzansi Magic has been a game-changer when it comes to content. Despite detailing the show with the football we can expect more diverse content.

As we know game shows aren’t strict on games that can be won with physical strength only. Some games require focus and mental strength. Perhaps there will be a netball or basketball-focused game. We can also expect games like Tetris.
Aim of the show
Saturday showdown is aimed at reminding adults to reserve time for themselves to play. Families across Mzansi will see the gripping show and unite whilst watching it. Viewers will have their favourite players and they will root for them.
