The South African version of the global reality show XXXX Got Talent is in Cape Town this week. SA's Got Talent is produced by Rapid Blue for SABC2 and on Tuesday I will visit to have a look at the talented and not so talented showing up at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) before the judges that include Randall Abrahams and Ian von Memerty.
Cape Town auditions are taking place on Tuesday and Wednesday. SA's Got Talent will start on Thursday, October 1 at 19:30. ''We are happy to confirm the new broadcast dates, which is good news as the show will now air in peak viewing season,'' says Ed Worster, SABC2 programme manager.
There are 10 hour long episodes, as well as four half hour long results shows where the ''talented'' gets sent packing.
From Monday 9 November to Wednesday 11 November for three nights in a row, viewers will be able to see the semi-final rounds of SA's Got Talent from 19:30 - 20:30, followed by a results show from 21:30 - 22:00.
The live finale of SA's Got Talent in Johannesburg - that yet again I'm sure I won't be invited to - will take place on Thursday, 12 November. The top 6 acts will perform and the winner gets R250 000.
