Family Feud Africa is a South African game show produced by BBC African Rapid Blue and American Steve Harvey Global, distributed by Fremantle, broadcast on e.tv, starting from April 5, 2020.[1] It is the South African version of the American show of the same name, and was filmed after Season 21 of the current United States version (which started in 1999) was completed, in December 2019. Fremantle offered selected production staffers and host Steve Harvey for the production.[2]

The show's logo is based on the logo from the first seven seasons (1999–2006) of the current US version, with the set based on the 2010 version. The show uses music cues from the 1976 and 1988 Walt Levinsky and 1994 Edd Kalehoff composed versions of "The Feud". The Kalehoff version is used in round or Fast Money winning situations. The graphics come from the 2014 Australian version. Unlike the United States version, there is product placement from KFC South Africa franchisee (product placements are illegal on almost all United States game shows).[3]

For Season 2 (2021), the podiums were changed to reflect the changes to the set in August 2020.
