The other seven journalists who made it to the elimination round were Jonty Mark (The Star), Neville Khoza (Pretoria News), Nyiko Sithole (Munghana Lonene), Beverly Mapahangwa (Metro FM), Sisa Majola (SAPA) and Tiyani Mabasa (Kick Off). They participated in an online football trivia and had to answer 8 random questions (100 unique questions per week).
MTN South Africa's senior sponsorship manager, Desiree Pooe, says, "Members of the media are important stakeholders of the tournament and so we put together a competition that would reward them for their support for the MTN8 and local football in general. The company congratulates Matshe for becoming the first MTN8 Last Journo Standing."
Matshe congratulated his fellow members of the media for taking part in the competition especially those who made it to the elimination round. He highlighted that media needed to see more of such innovative competitions in local football.
