African Talent Show Auditions Postponed

Auditions for Walter Magaya’s African Talent Show have been postponed. The talent search programme was meant to hold its first auditions on Saturday 17 March, 2018.

The African Talent Show which is being organised by Prophetic Healing and Deliverance (PHD) Ministries founder, has experienced some problems prior to starting. The show was scheduled to air on Yadah TV and DStv Channel 281. The show is promising prize money of $1 million for the winner.

According to Magaya, “It is not my money that I will be using. The partners that I have secured said whoever wins the competition will get a million.”

However, the show seems to have run into funding problems. Investors of the project feel that the project is a risky proposition. They don’t want to invest in an experimental show.

According to reports, “The figure of US$1 million is too much for an experimental show in an economy like Zimbabwe and the truth is there is no way Prophet Magaya and partners would afford to fund such an event.”

Investors feel that the show should start off on a small scale. The prize money has to be reduced because even in Africa, no TV show has ever offered such a prize.
