Following an overwhelming entry response from the 14 participating countries, AfricaMagic is happy to announce that the audition phase has arrived and you stand a chance of being a housemate on of the most successful television series on the continent.

Auditions for shortlisted candidates in South Africa will take place at The Bassline in Johannesburg on Monday, 11 March to Wednesday, 13 March from 09:00 am.

Remember, entries are only open to persons over the age of 21, who are citizens of one of the participating countries and who either have a valid passport or will be able to obtain one by the end of March.

On the 26th of May 2013, the new housemates will be revealed to audiences in 47 countries across Africa. The show will be screened live 24/7 on DStv channels 197 and 198 for 91 days.

The prize money of USD 300 000 is up for grabs to the last housemate standing. Will it be you?
