Big Song and Dance to Mark beginning of Big Break Legacy Reality TV Show

The countdown to the start of South Africa’s ground breaking reality TV show, The Big Break Legacy has begun, says Ezra Ndwandwe, entrepreneur and the brains behind the show.

The Big Break Legacy, which will air on SABC 2 from February 2, 2012 at 7.30pm, will comprise 12 contestants, chosen from around the country in a pool of 25 000 entries, says Ndwandwe.
The Big Break Legacy prize is a R5 million rand capital injection to a business or a business idea conceived by the most suave entrepreneur in the show, demonstrating an uncanny combination of street smarts and book smarts.

But according to Ezra, all the 12 contestants are already winners. “Our plan is to make sure that the other 11 contestants walk away from the show with an increased sense of purpose. We will empower them through various interventions to ensure that when they arrive back home, they are ready to turn their dreams into reality,” says Ndwandwe emphatically.

“The Big Break Legacy is a new and innovative idea, a complete departure from previous reality TV shows in that the end of the show signifies the beginning of a new and exciting journey for its participants,” says Ndwandwe.

The Big Break Legacy already claims an impressive fan base, particularly on social media platforms, considering that the show only begins in two weeks’ time.

Ndwandwe says he is highly encouraged to see the dramatic increase in the number of people showing an interest in the TV show online, with facebook (www.facebook.com/thebigbreaklegacy) fans already taking some controversial positions on who should win the prize.

Since the debate started, the Big Break Legacy’s facebook fan base has grown at a phenomenal 100 percent rate each day.

The big event to mark the launch of the Big Break Legacy show will be held on the 1st of February, with celebrities, industry captains, local and international media in attendance.
