Yes, you heard right. After a seven-year hiatus, Big Brother Mzansi will finally be returning. Can you believe it? 2021 marks 20 years since the first Big Brother South Africa aired. I know I cracked the same joke on Friday. But seriously. Feeling old yet? *cries in old* 😢

Following the success of Big Brother Naija, MultiChoice confirms that the pay-TV service and M-Net are reviving Big Brother Mzansi after seven years for another South African season.
 

"The MultiChoice Group and Banijay are pleased to announce that the much-loved Big Brother Mzansi will be making its highly anticipated return to your screens soon, and it promises to be as exciting, entertaining and action-packed as ever," MultiChoice and M-Net's local entertainment division says in a statement.
 

It's not yet clear whether Big Brother Mzansi that will run as a 24/7 stream, will be just a dedicated DStv TV channel with highlight programmes running on M-Net's Mzansi Magic (DStv 161) channel, or whether it will be a property running exclusively on MultiChoice's video streaming service Showmax.
