From close to sixty contestants, we are now down to six. In the previous episodes we have seen tensions rise, ruthless eliminations, victorious celebrations and lots of mics muted – all in the search for this year’s Apprentice of the South African short-term insurance industry.

At this stage of the game, the competition is extremely tough, as we will only be taking four contestants into this season’s finale. May the best of the best prevail!

In episode 8, sponsored by Marsh, the contestants are asked to consider themselves as the “risk and insurance adviser” to a Private Equity (PE) firm, that is reviewing a potential acquisition of a renewable energy company into their portfolio.

Did they meet the requirements?
