He brought pure pride, authentic Zulu culture, and an unforgettable carnivore energy to national television and now he’s telling all! On this episode of Afternoons with Zweli, we sit down for an exclusive MasterChef SA elimination interview with fan favourite Simele Shange following his emotional Top 4 exit.

Simele opens up about his high-octane rollercoaster journey in the MasterChef kitchen. From the thrill of winning 3 big challenges to the devastating pastry disaster that cost him a spot in the finals, Simele reflects on the immense pressure, learning to trust his instincts, and what really happened behind the scenes. He also talks about standing up for meat lovers during vegetable challenges, the story behind his famous pre-cook war cries, and why proudly wearing his umqhele meant the world to him and viewers across Mzansi.

With his warm heart, quick wit, and iconic catchphrases, Simele won over the entire country. Tune in to hear his reflections on his journey, his brotherhood with the "Zulu Gang," and what’s next for this incredible culinary talent!

Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli. He keeps you in the loop with everything from music and movies to sport and pop culture.
