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 Ghana – Accra (Holiday Inn Hotel Airport) on 5 and 6 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.
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

300 000.
Remember,

Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South
Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
