As with all Big Brother series, the new season of Big Brother Africa will include surprises and unexpected innovations.
2. Why is Angola not part of Big Brother Africa 9? Why has it been replaced by Rwanda?
Africa is a diverse and growing market and we are experiencing subscriber growth in new markets all the time. Rwanda has been identified as one of those key markets and with Angola having its first dedicated Big Brother Angola show which started on 25 May 2014, the business took a decision to include Rwanda.
3. Why did AfricaMagic ask people from my country to enter and to watch this show that I regard as immoral?
Research has shown that previous seasons of Big Brother Africa were widely watched throughout the continent. Also, the choice to enter the show and the choice to view the show is an individual one.

The prize money is guaranteed. However, in previous Big Brother series the last remaining Housemates were also awarded prizes such as holidays but this is not a given.

Two suitcases. No clothing with prominent logos or labels will be allowed.
7. Will there be nudity and sex in the Big Brother house? And will M-Net show nudity and sex to viewers of Big Brother Africa?
Nudity and sex is not what the Big Brother reality show is about. We do, however, anticipate that there will be some semi-nudity screened, when the housemates are dressed in swimming attire and the like. More importantly, there will be a VIP subscription available for those viewers who wish to access the restricted scenes as Big Brother will not be broadcasting the nude scenes which includes Shower Hour. In addition, Channels 197 and 198 will carry an appropriate age restriction of 18 that will ensure the use of a parental guidance facility, which will help parents restrict viewing should they so wish; and throughout its duration Big Brother Africa 9 will be handled with sensitivity and discretion. Audiences are also reminded that Big Brother is created specifically for viewing by adult audiences.
8. Are housemates locked into the BIG BROTHER AFRICA house?
All doors to the outside are locked, yes, but housemates are free to leave at any stage as long as they explain why and understand that once out of the house they cannot return. Big Brother can open the doors at a moment’s notice in the event of an emergency.
9. How big is the House?
The house has a large living space and two communal bedrooms and is attached to a spacious garden. It also has one large open plan living area, kitchen, bathroom, toilet, diary room and storeroom. There are only two communal bedrooms. Housemates will have to share. However the house may have sections incorporated into it that Big Brother may choose to reveal at his discretion.
10. Can housemates buy stuff while in the house?
Housemates can only influence the group as to how they all should spend a communal budget. No individual purchases are allowed.
