The final dish! MasterChef South Africa crowns a champion tomorrow night

Pippa Hudson interviews MasterChef South Africa's Top 3 contestants: Chanel Brink, Bridget Mangwandi and Nabila Shamshum.

Listen below.

After months of chopping, braising, spicing, stressing, and sweating it out in the MasterChef kitchen, the moment has finally arrived to crown a champion!

Tomorrow night’s thrilling finale will reveal which of the final three contestants will walk away with the coveted title and a million rand prize.

From 20 talented home cooks to just three finalists, this is the nail-biting showdown that South Africa has been eagerly awaiting!

If Shamshum takes home the R1 million, she plans to use the prize to open a café that seamlessly blends the worlds of food and art.

For Brink, the prize would fund her dream of attending culinary school and hosting pop-up events that elevate South African cuisine to the fine-dining level.

Meanwhile, Mangwandi intends to use the money to develop food products and focus on initiatives that promote food security.

"I'm absolutely shocked because I never expected to get this far into the competition...I've just been shocked about the whole journey. It is the finale tomorrow so that fear is still there."

- Chanel Brink, MasterChef SA finalist 

"It's important to look at things positively, like creativity-wise, what can I create that is different, that is new, that is revolutionary?"

- Bridget Mangwandi, MasterChef SA finalist
