You're reading it here first. I can tell you now that Big Brother Africa: The Revolution will start on Sunday at 19:00 South African time. The time will be confirmed later today by M-Net.I can also tell you first that you can already tune on from 17:00 on Sunday to channel 198 since there will be a various selection of celebrities in the house.
Viewers will be able to tune in for two hours BEFORE the actual start of the show, from 17:00 - 19:00 to see how the house looks on the inside, and also for the smattering of celebrities that will be placed in the house.
Expect an announcement from M-Net about this soon.
It also seems as if a name already leaked. Will Reon Cloete from Namibia who's studying at the University of Cape Town be in the Big Brother Africa house?
UPDATE: M-Net just confirmed the news that I broke here earlier today. The channel just issued this press release at exactly 09:00 on the second this morning.
''This year will be quite unique. On September 6 the Big Brother cameras will roll into action at 17.00 sharp with a special 2 hour pre-show! DStv audiences continent-wide are invited to tune in at that time and watch as host IK Osakioduwa kicks off the Revolution.
''That’s when four ‘mystery’ guests , including a well-known Nollywood star and a glamourous television personality, will make their way into the brand new Big Brother house to get the game going. So if you want to see what the dynamically re-styled house looks like, to check out just where the housemates will be spending their time, and to see how these special guests react to the environment, set your alarm and tune in at 17.00!
