A bevy of beautiful ladies do their best to win challenges and impress the judges. The 12 hopefuls have a chance at walking away with R250,000 in cash, a Ford Figo 1.4 Ambiente, becoming a brand ambassador for Edgars, and the title of She's The One.
The process takes place over 12 episodes, seeing one of the ladies waving the crew goodbye each week. The show is hosted by Lunga Shabalala with stand-up comedian Tumi Morake and industry all-rounder Kojo Baffoe serving as judges.
"It's about more than a look. It's about being the right girl in the right place, at the right time. She's got to have attitude, business savvy, and be ready to take on the world. She's picture-perfect and she knows how to use it."
Twelve women have been given the chance of a lifetime. Every week a challenge will be put forward, and the one girl that has the drive and determination, the street smarts and the right attitude, will be given the tools to take over the media world and an amazing grand prize that will catapult her into the limelight.
To be chosen as the "The One", this women requires perseverance, drive and determination.
Judges Kojo Baffoe and Tumi Morake know what it takes to make it in Mzansi's tough media world. They will be guiding the ladies through the 12-week challenge and every week one girl will be eliminated from the show, until we find the girl that proves "She's The One".
