According to Anne Sackey, Marketing and Communications Manager at MultiChoice Ghana, organizers of Big Brother Africa (Endemol SA and M-Net) are currently looking around South Africa and other African countries with adequate facilities to host the Big Brother Hotshot.

This comes because of the fire outbreak that resulted in the collapse of the building in which this year’s edition of BBA was to be filmed. All previous seasons of BBA were filmed in South Africa, so it will be the very first time if it happens that this particular season is produced in a different African country.

In her submission, she pointed it out that even though the organizers of Africa’s biggest reality show (BBA) are searching for a different location in South Africa and other countries, if they however find a suitable place in Nigeria, they will move to Nigeria to commence the reality show.

“They (organizers) have made it known to us that the launch cannot take place this coming Sunday (September 7, 2014). Currently, they are hunting around South Africa and even on the African continent to see if they will find appropriate set they will use for Big Brother. It can happen that if they find an appropriate place in Nigeria, they will move Big Brother there; but they require at least a week to let us know”, Anne stated.

Confirming the tragic incident that took place in South Africa on Peace FM, Anne made it known there were no casualties because nobody was in the building that got burnt. Conversely, what caused the fire outbreak is not yet known.

The contestants from all the participating countries are however in South Africa. This is to enable them sign the necessary contracts, go for photo-shoots for publicity, and get themselves oriented before the show takes place.

It is not yet known if the contestants will be allowed to go back to their various countries or continue to stay in South Africa.

According to Anne, the biggest and most watched reality show on the African continent will definitely come on, even though it will delay a bit.
