Tapfuma Makina is the new Ultimate Braai Master (UBM) host for Season 8!
Best known for his love of sport, Tapfuma is excited to explore his passion for travel, food and discovering the unique talents of all South Africans as he joins UBM S8’s search for SA’s Ultimate Braai Master of 2023. The show premiered on e.tv on Sunday on 5 February, 2023 at 5pm.
In a nod of appreciation to former UBM host Justin Bonello, who has hung up his braai tongs after seven successful seasons, Makina says: “It’s an honour to take up the baton. Justin created one of South Africa’s most iconic and longest running reality TV shows. That we’re now in season eight of the show proves how phenomenal a concept it is, and how loved he was as a host. It’s a privilege to be a part of the house that Bonello built.”
Benny and Pete
He goes on to clarify; “I love food, but I am no chef, and have nothing but respect for those with that innate talent! No, I leave that to the experts, Benny and Pete – now in their 5th series together on UBM, who better to judge?”
“I’m simply the task master, my job is to help the braai master hopefuls, and our audience navigate the mechanics of the show, and steer them through the twists and turns that comprise the journey to finding the next Ultimate Braai Master.”
The Ultimate Braai Master sees teams of two compete against each other in various braai challenges across 13 episodes. Chefs Peter Goffe-Wood and Benny Masekwameng return to judge the uniquely original braai challenge of creating culinary excellence from an open fire.
As events infold, teams are eliminated along the way and the winning team can win amazing prizes, and will take home the ownership of the Season 8 Ultimate Braai Master title.
