In an evolving partnership with M-Net to bring MasterChef SA into the homes of South Africans once again this year, Tsogo Sun is a proud monetary sponsor of MasterChef SA, having sponsored the main prize of a restaurant for the very first winner of the reality TV show. In addition to being a fully-fledged tactical partner this year, Tsogo Sun has the honour of sponsoring one of the main prizes in MasterChef SA Season 2, which will be awarded to the winning amateur chef in September following 14 weeks of eliminations from a starting line-up of 100 hopefuls.

The prize is a trip for two to Tsogo Sun’s idyllic tropical paradise of Maia Luxury Resort and Spa on the island of Mahé in the Seychelles. It includes a five-night stay in a villa with a panoramic ocean view, spending money, three meals a day and softdrinks as well as business class airfares, airport taxes and transfers. All that remains for the winner to do is select one of the specified dates of departure and pack a passport.

Graham Wood, MD of Tsogo Sun – hotels, says, “We are absolutely delighted to be sponsoring one of the main prizes for the winner of MasterChef SA once again. Season 1 saw Tsogo Sun partnering with the first-ever winner of MasterChef SA, Deena Naidoo, to bring his dream of sharing in a restaurant to life, and are so proud that Aarya, which is located at Montecasino, is proving to be so popular with Deena’s fans.

“This season Tsogo Sun is the proud official accommodation and hospitality sponsor for MasterChef South Africa. We look forward to an exciting second season that will no doubt culminate in another nail-biting finale – with the worthy winner jetting off to a well-deserved luxury holiday on us,” concludes Wood.
