Big Brother would like to thank all those who appreciate the tireless effort being put in to ensure that Africa's biggest reality show goes on as planned.

Don't forget that we work hard to make each season of Big Brother Africa bigger than the last - and we've really upped the ante this year.

This Is It! Inside The New Big Brother Hotshots House

As you are all aware, the old Big Brother Africa house which is located at the Sasani Studios in Highlands North, Johannesburg, South Africa, was meant to be home to the 9th BBA season, Big Brother Hotshots, but it was destroyed in a fire on Tuesday, September 7, 2014.

The burning of the house came as a huge blow to BBA fanatics who were waiting eagerly for the show to launch this Sunday, September 7.

An avid follower of the show, Tanya Musonza said it was fortunate that the BBA show had not started saying there would have been chaos if it burnt with housemates inside.

"It's sad that M-Net lost their house but thank God the housemates were not staying there. During the show, housemates are always locked up 24/7 and it was going to be difficult to evacuate them because of Biggie's doors which are always locked and the high durawalls," she said.

Over the years viewers of the show have questioned organisers why the show has only been held in South Africa and the response from then M-Net managing director, Biola Alabi was: "It's because  of the costs involved in the hosting of the show. The house is a studio inside another studio".

However, all hope is not lost as the organisers have unveiled a brand new house in which the production is going to be filmed.

The location of the new house is still a secret but contestants are expected to compete for $300,000 and to remain in the house for 91 days maximum.

The Hotshots are currently staying at a hotel on standby for when shooting begins in the new location. Meanwhile, check out the new Big Brother Hotshots house.
