Live finale on: Saturday 29 November at 20h00
From Sunday, 9 November, M-Net follows all the catwalk and modeling action from the 2008 M-Net Face Of Africa search and on Saturday, 29 November, the winner will be announced at a glitzy event, which will be broadcast live from Sun City’s Superbowl.
The show’s scouts - model and catwalk veteran Andiswa Manxiwa and 2005’s winner Kaone - travelled to 12 African countries to cast 24 finalists between the ages of 17 and 24.
These 24 were then sent to Model Bootcamp in Zanzibar. A selection team, including first ever Face of Africa winner, successful model and entrepreneur Oluchi, then determine the Top 10 finalists, who will contend for the title at the finale.
The winner will walk off with USD 50 000 in cash as well as a three-year modelling contract with O Model Africa.
