The Apprentice Africa, the first Africa-wide version of the globally recognized television franchise, is seeking outstanding African professionals from the United Kingdom to audition in London this November for a chance to appear on the show. With a cash prize of $200,000 up for grabs, The Apprentice Africa is set to be one of the most challenging and riveting reality contests aired on African television to date.
Nigeria will be the host nation for Africa’s version of the American series launched by Donald Trump that has replicated its success in 23 countries including the UK with The Apprentice: You’re Fired starring Amstrad boss Sir Alan Sugar.
The Apprentice Africa will gather 18 contestants from across Africa and the Diaspora to compete for a lucrative corporate job with an annual salary of $200,000 and befitting perks including a luxury car.
Auditions for the show are being held in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, the UK and the USA. The UK auditions will take place in mid-November at a central London venue. Application forms and further details on the show can be found at the web site http://www.theapprenticeafrica.com.
Successful candidates selected from the auditions will be flown to Nigeria to take part in the production. Shooting on The Apprentice Africa will begin in January 2008 for four months and the programme will air from mid-February across Africa.
