Shortly after the news broke people weighed in and said they hope they choose ordinary people to be part of the show.
“I hope they will pick ordinary people. Ntombi noAce were very entertaining. They were just ordinary people who couldn’t even speak proper English, but they gave that house life,” Zama said.
While Thobile Mametja shared the same sentiment as Zama, and said: “I hope Big Brother Mzansi doesn’t bring us celebrities, famous TikTokers & famous social media influencers. They already have the platform. We want to see people who didn’t make it in life, people who are starting from scratch. People that we don’t know.”
Over the years, the reality show, which was initially a Dutch reality TV competition franchise created by John de Mol with its first episode broadcast in the Netherlands in 1999, has launched the careers of many people in Mzansi including Mandla and Lexi, who have gone on to have their own reality shows.
