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.
Zimbabwe's auditions will take place at Meikles Hotel in Harare on July 12 and 13.
AfricaMagic has always been associated with unearthing, nurturing and recognising 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 house-mates 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 said.
Her sentiments are echoed by Endemol managing director 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."
MultiChoice Africa chief executive 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."
