Tusker Project Fame was an East African reality-singing competition show sponsored by Tusker Lager.[2] The show, similar to American Idol and Project Fame South Africa, featured musicians competing for a cash prize and a one-year record deal with Universal Music Group South Africa.[3]

Tusker Project Fame aired 6 seasons between 2006 and 2013.[4] To be eligible, participants had to be at least 21 years old and be able to sing and perform, or sing and play an instrument.[5]

Controversy

[edit | edit source]

Past winners criticized the show's organizers for failing to fulfill their promises, claiming that while the Tusker Company profited significantly from the program, it did not adequately support winners once the season ended.[6]
