The popular Big Brother Africa house, located inside
the Sesani Studios, Johannesburg South Africa, was
this afternoon gutted by fire.
With the cause of the fire reportedly unknown, the
organisers of Big Brother Africa, M-Net and Endemol
SA, announced that the 2014 edition of the reality
show, tagged the Big Brother Hotshots, scheduled for
September 7, has been postponed.
“At this stage M-Net and Endemol are urgently
looking for an alternative Big Brother house in which
to film the production. However as this production
has a highly technical infrastructure, camera and edit
requirement, an alternative is not immediately
available.
“Every effort will be made to find a solution as quickly
as possible to ensure that Africa’s biggest reality
show will continue,” the organisers said in a
statement.
They promised to keep the fans of the show updated.
This is the 9th season of the controversial reality
show, which started in 2003, with a three year break
before continuing in 2007.
Nigeria has won the competition three times. The last
winner of the controversial cable show, which
features nudity, sex and drunken housemates, was
Namibia’s Delish Matthews. https://m.premiumtimesng.com/arts-entertainment/167670-fire-guts-big-brother-africa-house-show-suspended.html
