The final specific audition details are now available for M-Net's new format game show, Million Rand Money Drop produced for the pay-TV broadcaster by Endemol South Africa.
While a Nigerian version, Million Dollar Money Drop, will also be produced by M-Net for AfricaMagic Entertainment, South African auditions for the South African version will start on Thursday.
For each of the dates below, M-Net tells me that gates open at the respective venues at 10:00 in every city.
Since the premise of Million Rand Money Drop is a format built on the tension between two people having to decide (and often arguing and second-guessing on which hopefully-right answer the money should be placed), people auditioning for the game show will have to do so with any kind of partner.
The show is looking for duos with a kind of chemistry (good or bad) between them, but who will make for have-to-watch television and are really motivated to get as far as they possible can.
Both people need to be older than 18 years. People auditioning will need to take their ID identity documents to the auditions.
M-Net cannot predict how long queues will be, so people who want to enter are encouraged to show up early. An individual audition will take between 30 minutes to 1 hour. Doors will remain open until all people in the audition queue has been processed and been seen by the producers.
Prospective contestants will be asked a few simple general knowledge questions and will be interview by members of the Million Rand Money Drop production team. Contestants will then be told who's moving on to the next round or not.
