ARE You Interested In Big Brother Africa? Check Out Audition Dates HERE! 2014

The ninth edition of Africa’s biggest reality series

Big Brother Africa kicks off in September and fans

are already asking who 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 venue on date.

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.

“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 toBig

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 $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
