Big Brother Africa gets closer

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.

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 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.

"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," she adds.

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.
