Strictly Come Dancing is a South African reality dance competition television series produced for SABC2 by Rapid Blue, based on the British show of the same name. It is broadcast live from the Carlton Centre Ballroom, Johannesburg.
The series premiered in South Africa on SABC2 on Saturday 4 February 2006, at 20h00. See "Seasons" below for seasonal broadcast dates and times.
Season 2 Synopsis
The second season of Strictly Come Dancing premiered on SABC2 on Saturday 5 August, 2006 at 20h00.
In the second season eight new South African celebrities coupled up with their own patient, professional dancers and attempted to win the ballroom dancing showdown.
Celebrities for the season included soapie actors, a kwaito muso, a handyman, a beauty queen, a radio jock and a soccer star.
They were:
Babalwa Mneno (model)
Dingaan Mokebe (actor)
Freedom Hadebe (actor)
Grethe Fox (actress)
Jeannie D (radio DJ, television presenter)
Mark Fish (former soccer player)
Riaan Venter (television handyman)
Tamara Dey (kwaito-pop star)
Their dance skills were put to test in front of the same four strict judges from Season One and every Saturday night, for the duration of the show, they strutted their stuff in front of a live studio audience.
Once more the the judges score was combined with votes from viewers to determine who went home and who became the dance champion.
Ultimately it came down to 7de Laan actor Freedom Hadebe and his partner Mary Martin against television handyman Riaan Venter and his partner Hayley Hammond.
On Saturday 23 September, 2006, Riaan Venter and Hayley Hammond won the show.
The musicians in the second season were: Keith Hutchinson, Randal Skippers, Concord Nkabinde, David Klassen, Alistair Coakley, Bez Roberts, Sydney Minisi, Godfrey Mgcina and Adam Howard.
The vocalists for the season included Innocent Modiba, Nonhlanhla Mdluli and Idols runner-up Brandon October.

Format
South African celebrities are partnered with professional Latin and Ballroom dancers and must work each week on perfecting a dance routine.
Each week during a live show viewers are asked to vote for their favourite couple, and one couple (with the least votes) is eliminated.
In the season finale, two couples dance off to win the title and a cash prize of R40,000 (R20,000 per partner). The cash prize was first introduced for the third season.
Through sms voting, viewers vote who should stay and who should go, the results of the poll being combined with the ranking of the panel of judges.
For example: with 4 contestants left, the judges' favourite would receive 4 points, 2nd favourite 3 points, and so on, and similarly with the viewers' rankings. The two scores added together make the final score.
The show is broadcast live on SABC2 on Thursday evenings and is hosted by Ian von Memerty and Sandy Ngema.
The judging panel consists of Lilia Phororo, Dave Campbell, Salome Sechele and Tyrone Watkins. Each judge gives the performance a mark out of ten, giving an overall total out of 40.
