‘Big Brother Mzansi’ auditions are open – Here’s how you can enter

Online auditions are open and prospective contestants need to send a 'banger' two-minute video and more.


After much fanfare, interested contestants can now enter season three of the highly anticipated Big Brother Mzansi.

MultiChoice confirmed last week that the long-awaited return was definitely happening.

Big Brother Mzansi aired in South Africa in 2014, hosted by Lungile Radu, and there have been many versions across the African continent and the world since the show first aired in the Netherlands in 1999.

The continent’s version, Big Brother Africa, aired in 2003 followed by the popular Big Brother Najia (Nigeria) in 2006.

The show is based on housemates who live together in a house that isolates them from the rest of the world, including not having communication with friends and family members. The housemates are constantly monitored by Big Brother – 24-hour cameras for approximately three months.
