Deal or No Deal Celebrity host Katlego Maboe former Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi on the first season of the show. Picture: Supplied After raising over R2.2 million for more than 40 charity organisations across South Africa, reality TV game show Deal or No Deal Celebrity returns to the screen for a second season on SABC 1. In the first season, celebrities such as Moshe Ndiki, former Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi, Dr Malinga, DJ Cleo, Robot Boii, and many more navigated the high-pressure environment of the show in their unique ways. #DealOrNoDealCelebSA is back for Season 2! Catch the drama this Saturday at 18:00 on @Official_SABC1. Watch your favourite celebs take on the banker for charity. Which celeb do you think will take the hot seat first? — Deal or No Deal Celebrity SA (@DONDCelebrityZA) June 6, 2025 Host Katlego Maboe himself was surprised when he was revealed as the contestant in the first season. 'Being in the hot seat of the show that I've hosted for so long was a wild, wild experience. 'First of all I had no idea that the crew and the cast were going to throw that curveball my way,' Maboe told The Citizen at the time. In cahoots with the banker, media personality Hulisani Ravele flipped the script on Maboe when the faceless money man, who always relays all his messages through Maboe, demanded to speak to the former YoTV presenter. Ravele broke the news to Maboe that the banker instructed her to run the show for this special episode, and he would be the one in the hot seat. The second season of the show will premiere on SABC 1 on Saturday at 6:00pm. ALSO READ: Katlego Maboe says being in 'Deal or No Deal Celebrity' hot seat is a 'wild, wild experience' Aiming to change more lives Maboe won R150 000 on the show and donated his winnings to Hope Cape Town, which he has supported for just over a decade. 'I've stayed with the organisation since 2014 because I've noticed that they're a group of really dedicated people who are very focused on the work that they do,' said the bubbly media personality. Hope Cape Town provides holistic services in medical treatment, care, and support to numerous marginalised communities adversely affected by HIV/Aids. The non-governmental organisation (NGO) showed appreciation to Maboe on social media. Although Maboe and other celebrities funnelled substantial amounts of cash to various NGOs, courtesy of show sponsor LottoStar, only two hit the jackpot prize of R250 000 with their ingenious gameplay and Lady Luck smiling upon them. Rorisang Thandekiso donated her winnings to a charity close to her heart, Paediatric Care Africa, while Pearl Modiadie chose the Tshepang Care Centre from her hometown, Thembisa. Paediatric Care Africa – an NGO providing general and specialist medical care to children countrywide, including secluded areas with no or limited access to doctors and hospitals – used the donation to pay for the shipping and road transport of a 40-feet container from the UK, filled with critical medical equipment, hospital furniture, walkers, wheelchairs and buggies. 'The quality of life of many children and their caregivers changed dramatically due to this export made possible by Deal or No Deal Celebrity and LottosStar,' said Joyce Cromptvoets, Head of Office at Paediatric Care Africa. For Sarah Sibiya, the founder of the Tshepang Care Centre, the quarter of a million rand from Modiadie's win is much more than a donation. 'Before we had received the money, we struggled to keep the centre going. It has brought hope, love and much-needed support to our community,' said Sibiya. LottoStar's Head of Marketing, Maria Pavli, said such stories are a reminder of the pride they have in supporting the show. 'It's a rare opportunity to be part of something that's not only entertaining but truly life-changing,' said Pavli.

Three Sundowns midfielders for Kaizer Chiefs?
Betway Premiership champions Mamelodi Sundowns have captured the imagination of Kaizer Chiefs fans this week. Earlier this week, it was confirmed that the club known as Kabo Yellow confirmed part ways with two former Kaizer Chiefs targets, Sipho Mbule and Rivaldo Coetzee. According to the latest reports, a third former target of Amakhosi is facing an uncertain future with Sundowns. With Kaizer Chiefs in the market for a central midfielder, can Lebohang Maboe provide the solution? Full list: 10 signings linked with Kaizer Chiefs According to this new report, Maboe is facing an uncertain future with Sundowns, who are set to travel to the FIFA Club World Cup without him. The former Kaizer Chiefs development star spent the second round of last season on loan at SuperSport United. At Matsatsantsa, Maboe played 15 times, wherein he scored once and made one assist. 'After spending the last four months on loan, a Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder faces a tough few weeks regarding what happens next in his career,' Soccer Laduma reported. Kaizer Chiefs transfer news: Nigerian striker, Mbule and Coetzee 'Sundowns are heading to the FIFA Club World Cup in the next few days and Soccer Laduma understands that players who were out on loan will not be travelling with the team for the competition. One player who was away for the second part of the season is midfielder Lebohang Maboe, who spent some time at SuperSport United. While he was able to get game time with Matsatsantsa, there are no guarantees over his future at Sundowns, especially after the arrival of Jayden Adams in midfield earlier this year. Kaizer Chiefs news: Amakhosi bosses and Morris 'Maboe still has a contract with Sundowns and a decision on what happens next in his career is likely to be made during or after the Club World Cup,' the report added.

Mamelodi Sundowns star sparks transfer war amid drama
Mamelodi Sundowns star sparks transfer war amid survival drama. As the Betway Premiership season heats up with SuperSport United battling to avoid the drop, one man has risen above the chaos, Lebohang Maboe. Since his loan move from Mamelodi Sundowns in January, the 30-year-old midfielder has turned heads with consistent and commanding performances. Now, multiple PSL clubs have entered the race for his signature. Maboe's revival at SuperSport United has made him one of the most-watched players in the league. Clubs across the Premier Soccer League are now closely monitoring his situation ahead of the June transfer window. A source confirmed that Maboe is generating serious interest but emphasized that SuperSport United remains keen to retain his services. 'Interest has always been there even before he went on loan to SuperSport United. But it's not good to mention the other PSL club at the moment because SuperSport United are with the player right now. But yes, the interest is there and we will see after the end of the season. I don't think he is going back to Sundowns,' the source revealed. Maboe's future remains uncertain. While he hopes to return to Sundowns and fight for his place, the final decision doesn't rest with him. His current contract with the reigning champions runs until June 2026, meaning any move would require Sundowns' approval. 'He was loaned out to get more game time and he believes that he could still go back and fight for his place next season. It won't be easy but he still has a year to go on his contract as it expires in June 2026 so Sundowns have to be part of the decision no matter what happens. The interest will be directed to Sundowns,' the source added. Maboe has played a pivotal role in SuperSport United's fight to stay in the PSL. His experience, energy, and tactical discipline have bolstered the midfield and added much-needed resilience to the squad. Having previously starred for Maritzburg United, Maboe brings leadership and composure under pressure, qualities that have become invaluable as SuperSport scrambles for top-flight survival. With the season winding down and clubs preparing for the off-season shuffle, Maboe's next move could shake up the PSL landscape. Whether he returns to Sundowns, commits to SuperSport, or joins a new suitor remains the burning question. What's certain? The eyes of the league are firmly on Lebohang Maboe. Stay tuned with The South African as Mamelodi Sundowns star sparks transfer war amid drama. Will Maboe leave Sundowns, permanently join SuperSport or try a new adventure?
