The new host of Ultimate Braai Master for the reality braai competition's 8th season is Tapfuma Makina.
He joins the Trace Studios produced series in which several teams of two will again compete against each other – this season across venues in the Western Cape – to see who South Africa's latest braai champions are.
Makina takes over as presenter from the show's creator Justin Bonello, joining judges Peter Goffe-Wood and Benny Masekwameng from previous seasons.
Makina is a TV sports news anchor on e.tv and a radio host with a B.Sc. degree in biochemistry and microbiology.
On taking over from Bonello, Makina says: "It's an honour to take up the baton. Justin created one of South Africa's most iconic and longest-running reality TV shows."
"That we're now in season eight of the show proves how phenomenal a concept it is and how loved he was as a host. It's a privilege to be a part of the house that Bonello built".
He adds:
After travelling across South Africa in previous seasons for challenges, the series switched to using just the Eastern Cape province in the 7th season and now just the Western Cape for the latest upcoming season.
The show's new Western Cape season plans to "showcase the wealth of produce celebrated in the region, from free-range dairy and grain-fed cattle to fresh grown organic vegetables from farm to braai to table".
Ultimate Braai Master returns on e.tv on Saturday, 5 February, at 17:00.
