Even though the Big Brother Africa has been placed on hold for now, its regional versions will hold as planned, M-NET, producer of the Africa's biggest reality show has said.

In a statement issued this week, M-NET disclosed that its regional version of the Big Brother shows will go on, “including Big Brother Angola and Big Brother Mzansi.”

“Big Brother continues to captivate audiences in each market in which it is produced, and the move to regionalize the show allows producers to re-evaluate the direction of the show,” the statement said.

M-Net thanked “Big Brother Africa fans for their continuous support and assure them that in the future further announcements will be made.”
