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.
