BBA 2014 Postponed To September

Big Brother Africa (BBA) 2014 has been moved to September to accommodate the 2014 FIFA World Cup which kicks off in Brazil next month, on June 12.

Liz Dziva, Multichoice Zimbabwe's public relations and publicity manager, said that organisers of Africa's most popular reality show would announce audition dates in due course.

"There will be a delay in this year's season of Big Brother Africa as we do not want it to clash with the World Cup."

"The two are big events so we decided to move the show (BBA) to September. The proper date will be released later. Holding it at the same time as the World Cup will affect viewership," Dziva told Zimbabwe DailyNews.

Big Brother Africa is a reality show that brings in individuals from different African countries including Angola, Botswana, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

BBA has proved to be a fertile ground for lasting friendships. Apart from Big Brother The Chase 2013 contestants Pokello and Elikem who got engaged last weekend, several other relationships which started on the reality have blossomed beyond BBA. These include Nigerian Kevin Chuwang Pam and Tanzanian Elizabeth Gupta (Big Brother Revolution 2009) plus Namibian Meryl Shikwambane and Tanzanian Mwisho Mwampamba (Big Brother All Stars 2010).

Pokello 'Numb' After Elikem's Marriage Proposal

 

Zimbabwean Big Brother Africa star, Pokello Nare shared her joy with her fans on twitter about her boyfriend Elikem Kumordzie's marriage proposal to her.

The Ghanaian "surprised" Pokello on live television during the 2014 Ghana Music Awards with a "Will You Marry Me" question while the two were on the stage to present an award for Best collaboration of the year.

Pokello who seemed confused and shocked for a moment answered "Yes" and reached out for a lovable hug when Elikem got back on his feet. The auditorium echoed with cheers of joy before the couple proceeded to present the award.

She later shared her joy with her fans via twitter: "Those who know me, will tell you I'm very shy. I never saw such a proposal coming and I went numb because of where we were, all eyes on me!"

Those who know me, will tell you I'm very shy. I never saw such a proposal coming and I went numb becoz of where we were.all eyes on me!

The love story between Elikem and Pokello started during their time at the Big Brother Africa 'The Chase' reality TV show where they were housemates.

Elikem and Pokello got even closer in the aftermath of the show with each paying visits to the others' home country Ghana/Zimbabwe to meet families and fans.

It would be recalled that Kevin and Elizabeth were the first couple to wed after they hooked in the Big Brother house. And now, it looks like Africa is set to have another BBA wedding!

Feza Releases New Single 'My Papa'

 

Tanzania’s former Big Brother Africa contestant Feza Kessy has released her much-anticipated new single, My Papa; a love song dedicated to her man.

There was a lot of excitement as Feza Kessy’s fans across Africa reacted to her new single that premiered yesterday on Yarona FM, Botswana. Eager fans from many countries utilised the live-stream option to listen to Feza’s interview as they waited to hear the song.

Her fans were not disappointed and many took to Twitter and other social media platforms to show their excitement and appreciation after listening to the new song for the very first time.

Feza was introduced to Africa last year when she participated in the eighth season of Big Brother Africa. The Tanzanian beauty gained a large fan base while in the house due to her out-spoken nature and down-to-earth personality.

While in the house, Feza fell in love with Botswana housemate Oneal and the couple was affectionately nicknamed Oneza by adoring fans. The two were admired for staying true to their real personalities despite the pressure of the Big Brother Africa game, which usually sees many participants put on phony personalities for the sake of winning the prize money.

On leaving the Big Brother Africa house, Feza made a quick trip back home and then left for Botswana to link up with her man who had been evicted before her. The two have been inseparable since then, making several trips between Botswana, South Africa and Tanzania as they support each other’s careers.

Prior to joining Big Brother Africa, Feza had just finished recording her first single, Amani Ya Moyo, which was passionately embraced by the Big Brother Africa audience when it was played at a Saturday night party in the house.

While speaking to Radio Botswana today about the inspiration for her song, Feza said, “This song is special because it came from my heart. I wrote it on a flight to Zambia. Oneal had just dropped me off at the airport and I was missing him”

She confirmed that her new song is inspired by and dedicated to her love. “In my previous song you could tell I was sad, but now I am happy, there is a man making me happy. I am in love.” the bubbly Tanzanian beauty said while speaking to Yarona FM.

 “It is bongo flava, so people out there can get to hear the Tanzanian flavour, but it is also has a bit of afro beat and little bit of house,” she said.  ”And it is in mainly in English so people from all over Africa can listen to it and identify with it”

Bongo flava is a very popular genre back in her home country.

If the reaction the song received today on social media is anything to go by, My Papa is going to be a big hit. Give it a listen below..
