Hotshots: Big Brother Africa (BBA) returns September

In a couple of weeks, Africa’s biggest reality show, Big Brother Africa, BBA, will return for its ninth season from Sunday, September 7, with housemates who have hidden talents and adore the spotlight competing for a massive prize pot of USD 300, 000.
The new season, which will be infused with more swag and glamour according to the organisers, will be known as Hotshots.
M-Net Africa Regional Director (West Africa), Wangi Mba-Uzoukwu, said viewers would be in for almost as many surprises as the housemates. “We work hard to make each season of   Big Brother Africa bigger than the last, and we’ve really upped the ante this year. Big Brother Hotshots is going to bring viewers exciting innovations, heart-stopping twists and uniquely African glamour, 24/7 for 91 days.”
According to her, the housemates will start the game, which will be hosted by Nigerian-born IK Osakioduwa for the sixth time, in two ultra-glamorous houses built with magic, fun and mischief in mind. While it lasts, the housemates will do their best to outshine one another in the hope of convincing Africa that they are the continent’s biggest Hotshot. “They will party like A-listers, rub shoulders with celebrity guests and face formidable challenges, while negotiating Biggie’s famous curve balls and twists,” she further disclosed.
Produced by Endemol South Africa, the Big Brother Hotshots will run 24/7 on DStv channels 197 and 198, with the best of the live highlights on GOtv.

The activist urged the United Nations (UN) bodies, governments, aid agencies and civil society organisations (CSOs) to demystify the causes of the outbreak. He noted that proper enlightenment would enable communities to understand that the disease is not caused by witchcraft to curb its spread. “Ebola is not caused by witchcraft. Rather, it is an infectious disease with a rational, scientific explanation of how it was created, how it is spread and how it can be treated. There is a huge amount of work that needs to be done to demystify the medical condition that is commonly associated with witchcraft across West Africa. They need to use all media tools at their disposal ...
