It’s back, it’s bigger, it’s better, it’s Big Brother The Chase.

Season 8 of Africa’s biggest reality show kicked off with an electrifying performance by multiple award winning South African Afro-pop duo, Mafikizolo. Who had the crowd rocking to their smash hit “Khona” and were joined on stage by the Mzansi ballet dancers.

Presenter IK Osakioduwa made a roaring return to the Big Brother Africa Live Show on two wheels and clad in a sexy biker outfit.

The evening got off to an emotional start as a moment was taken to remember Nigerian songbird, Goldie, one of the most beloved Housemates from Big Brother StarGame who sadly passed away on 14 February 2013.

In only a few short moments Africa will get to meet the 28 Housemates from around Africa who will be competing against each other for the USD 300 000.
