Also featured were performances from Mafikizolo as well as comedian Tumie Morake from South Africa.

The Malawi contestants are 30 year old TV presenter and MC Fatima Nkata, who has a daughter named Brianna and Natasha Tonthola. The pair, which is going to compete with other pairs drawn from 14 African countries for the $300 000 (about K102 million) cash prize, was visibly in a jovial mood in an interview with show host IK.

Both of Malawi’s representatives have kids, with Fatima describing it as one of her major achievements.

“There is absolutely no feeling in the world that can top bringing another human into the world,” she says.

Speaking during the screening of the launch of the 8th season in Lilongwe, Multichoce Malawi marketing manager Chimwemwe Nyirenda said he was hopeful that Malawi would win this year’s competition.
