Big Brother Mzansi's return this evening will certainly be one for the books. The 24hour Live show was not renewed after the second season in 2014, due to a dramatic decline in viewership. Now, fans can breathe a huge sigh of relief as their favorite show will be back on air this evening.
The new season will start airing today on DStv Channel 161 Mzansi Magic and the 24-hour broadcast channel 198. This evening, viewers will meet the contestants who will be isolated in one house and the new host.
The premiere of the show takes place this evening at 8:00 pm and fans are eager to see what the new season has to offer.
Big brother today.✨ #BBMzansi
