Wie Word 'n Miljoenêr? is the second South African version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?. The show is the first version broadcast in the Afrikaans language, hosted by Rian van Heerden. The top prize is R1,000,000.
This is one of the few versions where there is a FFF. In total, 6 candidates appeared.
Originally planned for soon after the broadcast of the English-language South African version of the show, plans for the show were afterwards shelved. However, in July 2021, it was announced that the show would be commissioned.
