Fire guts Big Brother House in S.Africa

Fire has gutted the building of Big Brother Africa (BBA) halting the launch of Big Brother Hotshots. The cause of the fire is yet to be established as at the time of filing this report.
The reality television show which is one of the biggest in Africa will now be held at a different venue. “M-Net and Endemol South Africa advise that due to a devastating fire at the Big Brother house on 2 September 2014, Big Brother Hotshots will not launch this Sunday 7 September as scheduled,” a statement by BBA read.

“The cause of the fire at this stage is unknown and investigations will commence as soon as it is safe to do so”.
“At this stage M-Net and Endemol are urgently looking for an alternative Big Brother house in which to film the production, however as this production has highly technical infrastructure, camera and edit requirements an alternative is not immediately available.
“Every effort will be made to find a solution as quickly as possible to ensure that Africa’s biggest reality show will continue.”
BBA House is based at the Sesani Studios in Johannesburg but no one was injured in the fire.
