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 New
Africa Hotel, Dar es Salaam on 11th and 12th July 2014
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.
Hersentiments 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 Zimbabwe.
BIG BROTHER AFRICA 8 will be screened live 24/7 on
DStv channels 197 and 198 while GOtv audiences will see highlights of the show,
which begins on Sunday 7 September and is scheduled to run for 91 days. Big
