Season 1
Game Plan is a South African studio-based entrepreneurship and educational television game show presented by Mzwandile Ngubeni which stages radical interventions to educate previously disadvantaged South Africans about the basics of entrepreneurship and starting a successful business.
The show aims to be a catalyst in creating a conducive environment for entrepreneurship among the youth of South Africa.
With economic emancipation as its core objective, Game Plan is a platform which aims to educate 101 and key nuggets in business in a fun and engaging way, believing that entrepreneurship is a key driver of economic and socio-economic improvement.
Game Plan teaches viewers that the fundamental basis of a good business is to provide a product or service that caters for the particular needs of a specific target market through various types of games, themes and quizzes on the show.
The host is joined by resident judges Lebo Gunguluza, Chipo Mushwana and Andy Khumalo as they assist in unpacking the educational subject matter.
Each week six contestants are grouped into two teams of three, competing against each other for the title of South Africa's Game Plan Champion. The processes of selecting and identifying the contestants includes social media, different incubators, word of mouth in various communities and approaching tertiary institutions.
Game Plan was created by Reginald Mateka, who is also the executive producer.
