Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? is a South African game show based on the original British format of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?. The game show was hosted by Jeremy Maggs. The main goal of the game was to win 1 million rand by answering 15 multiple-choice questions correctly. There were three lifelines - 50:50, Phone a Friend and Ask the Audience. Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? was shown on the South African TV station SABC3 (earlier M-Net). When a contestant got the fifth question correct, he left with at least 1,000 rand. When a contestant got the tenth question correct, he left with at least 32,000 rand. Four seasons of the show were made. There was a project of making this show in Afrikaans, but it wasn't realised.
