JOHANNESBURG – Good news! Big Brother Mzanzi returns for another season following the outstanding success of last year’s show, which saw beloved spaza shop owner Mandla Hlatshwayo walk away with fame, fortune and romance.
Now the hunt is on for Mzansi Magic‘s 24/7 live reality TV series, Big Brother Mzanzi 2. Think you’ve got what it takes? If you are bold enough, brave enough, smart and savvy enough to take on the challenge, a spot may await you in Big Brother’s house.
“Big Brother Mzanzi allows us as a channel to tap our audience’s engagement – specifically in the social networking space. It’s a double-win for our viewers – great viewing today drives great viewing in the future. This show is an entertainment dream, packed with action, drama, romance and humour,” says Nkateko Mabaso, Director of Local Interest Channels at M-Net.
If you are a citizen/legal resident of South Africa and 21 years of age or older (as of January 1, 2015), then you can audition for the show. This year auditions will take place simultaneously in Durban, Cape Town and Johannesburg on Saturday January 31 and Sunday February 1.
Auditions in Durban will be held at the BAT Centre (45 Maritime Place) in Cape Town at the Cape Town Lodge (101 Buitengracht Street) and in Johannesburg at The Pyramid Venue in Eloff Street. Registration starts at 00:00 and closes at 15:00 on both audition days. If you are registered by 15:00 you will be auditioned. Remember that auditions are on a first come, first serve basis and you must bring a valid South African ID document with you.
If you are wondering what the prize money is, the answer is that it won’t be less than R1 million, and it could be as high as a mouthwatering R2 million! That’s all Biggie is saying for now.
As always, there’s a twist…this year you can either audition as an individual, or with a partner.
So if you think you and your best friend will wow the Big Brother selection team, then make sure you are both at the auditions together. You can pair up with anyone…your brother, sister, cousin, boyfriend, girlfriend, neighbour, gym buddy, golf partner, work mate…anyone you want as long as they meet the entry requirements and want to participate.
Big Brother Mzanzi 2 starts on Sunday March 29 on Mzansi Magic (DStv channel 161), running for 56 days until the Finale in May. The show will be filmed at Red Pepper Studios in Johannesburg.
