“Big Brother Titans is a special edition of the widely loved Big Brother show. This special edition is a fusion of two TV phenomena, BB Mzansi and BBNaija. We are bringing housemates from two GIANT nations, South Africa and Nigeria, under one roof, to give entertainment audiences across the continent a show of intense drama like never before. We are telling our audience to be ready for the biggest takeover on TV starting from January 15, 2023. It promises an abundance of South African and Nigerian swag, banter, romance, and everything in between.
“This is a meeting of the Titans, and the winner will take home a sum of R2million plus other prizes. As usual, DStv viewers will have to vote to keep their favourite housemates on the show. The winner will also be determined by viewers’ votes across Africa after 72 days,” Ms Philiso said.
The last season of Big Brother Mzansi saw Michelle Mphowabadimo Vundla walking away with R1 million. In her acceptance speech, Mpho said “Thank you, Mzansi.” The 27-year-old sangoma from Daveyton said, before the winner was announced, she was drenched in fear.
“I’m excited and anxious, but I’m happy to be here,” Mphowabadimo, said to the BBMzansi host, Lawrence Maleka. Reflecting on her journey in the house which lasted the full 10 weeks, she said: “It has changed me a lot. I have grown, I have healed, I’m a bigger person than I was walking into the house. I am grateful for this experience. I will never be the same.”
