How time flies...Big Brother Africa is here
again and the new winner will go home
with $300,000. If you think you got what it
takes to become an African star then what
are you waiting for?
The ninth edition of Africa’s biggest reality
series BIG BROTHER AFRICA kicks off in
September and already fans are asking…
who will the new housemates be? Who
will find their names and their faces
gracing newspapers? Who will become
the subject of drive time radio and just
who will find themselves trending on all
social media platforms?
Unlike previous years, this year’s entry
process is slightly different as potential
housemates are invited to come in their
numbers for auditions in their respective
country venues. Auditions will take place
at the listed VENUES below.
AfricaMagic has always been associated
with unearthing, nurturing and
recognizing talent from around the
continent; and Big Brother Africa is one of
the shows that have become known for
transforming ordinary citizens into stars.
“We are very grateful and remain
pleasantly surprised by the overwhelming
response that the show has been
receiving over the years. We look forward
to the selection of our potential
housemates coming in large numbers to
auditions at the specified venues and take
that chance at being the next Big Brother
star,” says M-Net Africa Regional Director
(West Africa) Wangi Wa-Uzoukwu. “The
fact that the fans truly adore the show is
all the motivation we need to keep it fresh
and that is always made possible by the
enthusiastic and fun-loving young
Africans who will answer to Big Brother.
We are rearing to go and we know that
this will definitely be another exciting
season that is full of quality
entertainment!” she adds.
Her sentiments are echoed by Endemol
MD Sivan Pillay who says, “We have been
producing this series for M-Net for a
number of seasons now and as partners,
together we have seen this show grow to
the phenomenon that it has become. We
hope the season will be even better as we
strive to improve on our offering season
after season. We will not hold back on the
quality and exciting unpredictability that
has become synonymous with Big Brother
Africa. Audiences and fans can expect yet
another high quality production and of
course, another group of fun-loving
housemates who will keep you guessing
on who will be left standing come day
91.”
MultiChoice Africa CEO Nico Meyer says:
“As MultiChoice Africa we are always
pleased to welcome each new season of
Big Brother Africa onto our platforms and
we applaud its amazing success and
ability to bring together audiences from
all across the continent. The inclusion of
Rwanda in this season is even more
exciting as this displays that our reach
and growth into the various sub-Saharan
markets is going from strength to
strength. We look forward to seeing
further growth as well as the impressive
social media presence that the show
enjoys.”
All persons over the age of 21, who are
citizens of one of the participating
countries and have a valid passport, can
enter Big Brother Africa 9. If you are
open-minded, bold and adventurous,
that’s even better! Previous editions of
Big Brother Africa have boasted huge
cash prizes for winners and this it is no
different as the prize money is USD 300
000.
Remember, entries are open to the
following 14 countries: Botswana,
Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Namibia,
Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South
Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and
