With the addition of two new cast members, the scene is set for a clash of personalities with bigger egos, heightened drama and unpredictable scenarios. In the all-new reality cooking show, Kids Kitchen Relay, renowned chef Zanele Van Zyl take the reins as judge, with Hlonela Mrwetyana and Thato Rampedi as co-hosts. The jam-packed, gameshow styled format challenges young, vibrant cool kids to a cooking competition with limited time and exciting prizes at stake.
