Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? (South African game show)

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? was a South African game show hosted by Jeremy Maggs and based on the original British format of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?. The goal of the game was to win one million rand by answering fifteen multiple-choice questions correctly. Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? was shown on the South African TV station SABC 3. Earlier the quiz was aired on M-Net, which also used their logo in the programme's logo. Four series of the show were made. There was a project to make another version of the quiz show in Afrikaans, but it never materialised.
