Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? was the English-language South African version of the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? franchise. Aired from November 7, 1999 until 2005 on M-NET, it was hosted by Jeremy Maggs. The top prize was R1,000,000.
There were plans of making this show in Afrikaans, however it was later shelved. In 2021, the kykNET channel announced the launch of Wie Word 'n Miljoenêr?, a South African version in the Afrikaans language.
