The tournament has been contested since its inception by the six franchise teams but for the 2007–08 season, Zimbabwe took part as a seventh side.[1] In April 2019, Cricket South Africa announced that the 2018–19 tournament would be the final edition of the T20 Challenge, due to austerity measures and a restructure of domestic cricket in the country.[2][3][4] The competition was effectively replaced with a franchise-based T20 tournament, the Mzansi Super League, which had its first edition in 2018.
