About MasterChef South Africa

MasterChef South Africa is Made in Mzansi, and now it’s coming home to e.tv. From 2026, viewers can catch all the heat, heart, and high drama every Sunday night at 18:00, with additional screenings on eReality and eExtra. It’s the perfect new stage for the country’s most-loved cooking competition, giving South Africans everywhere the chance to share in the flavours and stories that define us.

The previous season delivered unforgettable moments and changed lives forever. From surprising triumphs to heartbreaking exits, the MasterChef Kitchen pushed home cooks beyond what they thought possible. Bridget Mangwandi made history as the youngest winner yet, and the first black woman to hold the title, proving that MasterChef South Africa is more than a show; it is a launchpad for dreams.

Now, with its new home on e.tv, the journey continues. Season 6 will showcase the bold, diverse, and proudly local talent that makes South Africa’s food culture unlike any other.
