Cape Town - South African businessman Tokyo Sexwale has chosen two winners in the local version of the hit reality TV show The Apprentice.
Zanele Batyashe, 24, and Khomotso Choma, 34, the last two standing out of 16 contestants, each win a leading position in one of Sexwale's companies.
Batyashe is studying towards an Honours degree in Corporate Communications and Choma is the owner and manager of a construction company.
Sexwale, who gave up politics for business in 1998, is CEO of Mvelaphanda Holdings, a leading black managed and owned investment company.
The company is primarily a mining and energy house, but has other strategic investments in hotels, transportation, telecommunications, property, engineering, health, banking and financial services.
Sexwale was chosen to play executive chairperson, the role played by real-estate mogul Donald Trump in the original US series.
The Apprentice is a 16-episode unscripted drama in which 16 candidates come to the heart of the city of gold, Johannesburg, to face the challenge of their lives with the hope of winning a sizeable salary and a leading position in one of Sexwale's companies.
