Seven years after, a reality television show Big Brother Africa is staging a comeback.

This was disclosed by the organisers, MultiChoice’ South African TV network, Mzansi Magic, with assurance that the show is expected to be launched in 2022.

Already, casting has begun in earnest for the show, tagged ‘Big Brother Mzansi’, and produced by Randburg-based Red Pepper, according to the organisers.

Talking about the forthcoming show, M-Net’s Executive Head of Programming, Nomsa Philiso, said: “This year marks 20 years since the very first Big Brother on MultiChoice’s M-Net and we are excited to celebrate this milestone by commissioning a new Big Brother season, which will be housed under our Mzansi Magic stable.
