Hangman, a new reality show from mobile operator, Cell C, aims to attract the country’s innovators and entrepreneurs with R1 million in prize money.<\/p>\n

The 10-part reality show aims to reward those people ‘who have identified a gap in the market and have come up with an innovation that fills that space’ and want to bring it to the market.<\/p>\n

Innovators who are selected to be on the show will need to win the approval of backers who include businesswoman Phuti Mahanyele, celebrity economist Iraj Abedian, self-made billionaire Quinton van der Burgh and Bonang Mohale, chairman of Shell South Africa Energy.<\/p>\n

The innovator who succeeds in garnering the support of the ‘backers’, while rallying viewer\/\u2018investor\u2019 sentiment, could walk away with a R1 million cash prize, Cell C said.<\/p>\n

Hangman consists of two different content streams. The first is the actual reality online series \u2013 hosted by Maps Maponyane \u2013 which would traditionally be consumed on prime-time TV but will be streamed live online from October.<\/p>\n

The closing date for entries is July 21 with the show streaming online from October 9 to December 11.<\/p>\n
