Season 2
Rize Mzansi aims to challenge and educate small businesses on the trials and tribulations faced when running a company.
Season 2 will see 13 business-savvy companies compete against each other in an attempt to be awarded the chance to win a R1,000,000 capital investment from the National Youth Development Agency (NYDA).
As in the first season there is high drama as the companies are placed under extreme pressure and deadlines. Each episode centres on explicit business topics, varying from marketing and sales to business acumen.
Every week the entrepreneurs compete in extraordinary tasks to win cash prizes and business infrastructure. The winner is chosen by a mix of experiential criteria, public vote and by a panel of board members.
Who will be the next ground breaking South African entrepreneurs?
The series is sponsored by the South African Government in association with the National Youth Development Agency.
