EVEN though there won’t be any mapona this time around, Big Brother Mzansi promises to mosha the screens of Mzansi in 2024.
The Big Brother Mzansi media launch, hosted by comedian Skhumba Hlophe, was held at the MultiChoice offices in Randburg on Thursday, 7 December, and DStv has promised a hot fourth season of the reality show.
The show will run from 21 January to 31 March 2024. With R1 million on offer, it is sure to be a fun-filled season. The last season in 2022 was won by Dimpho "Mpho Wa Badimo" Mvundla, with Themba Broly as the runner-up.
The 24/7 series follows a group of people as they live in house under constant video surveillance and compete for a cash price at the end of the show.
Speaking to the media, the MultiChoice’s Shirley Adonisi said this year their theme is Siya Mosha.
“We all know the danger of being stale and always being predictable. As much as the housemates are the unpredictable part of it, we wanted to disrupt their worlds a little bit more.
"Ukumosha is not necessarily a negative thing. It’s a mindset shift. It’s taking you out of your comfort zone and introducing new ways to think and look at the world,” she said.

Shirley said ukumosha for them is fun.
“It always pushes you to be in a space that you can play. It doesn’t define if you do it big or small. In the end, we are destroying. That’s really the flavour we wanted to bring into the Big Brother house,” she said.
Executive producer of Red Pepper Pictures Natalie Bleksley said they are challenged to push the boundaries every season.
“I think this season we’ve really pushed ourselves outside our comfort zone and not only are we refreshing some of the favourites that everyone is used to seeing on the format, the head of house games and parties, we’ve introduced some really high stakes game play that we are very excited about,” she said.
The team said there won’t be any shower hours this season.
“As much as they knew that these people shower in front of cameras, they really didn’t have the want to literally see how they shower. We got a really negative feedback around that to say we understand that it’s a 24-hour show, but this part we don’t have to see,” Adonisi said.
