“We are breaking new ground and the website and social media are the perfect platforms to engage with the fans in real-time. The show will go on, and both fans and housemates are in for some riveting television, coupled with all the drama, intrigue and heart-stopping twists that have long become synonymous with the reality show,” the statement quotes M-Net Africa Regional Director (West Africa) as saying Wangi Mba-Uzoukwu.

Big Brother Hotshots will run 24/7 on DStv channels 197 and 198, with live eviction shows as well as the best of the live daily and weekly highlights shown on Africa Magic Family, Africa Magic Showcase, Africa Magic World and Maisha Magic.
Initially, the show was scheduled to launch on September 7 but a devastating fire gutted down the Big Brother house four days before the grand launch.
A new Big Brother house has been found in Johannesburg, South Africa and the 9th season of Africa’s biggest reality show kicks off on October 5 with $300 000 up for grabs.
