The sixth season of Big Brother Africa was announced in January with a
call for housemates.
Between then and now hopefuls have been able to enter by filling in the entry form online or dropping it off at a Multichoice office. The closing date for these entries is this Sunday, 27 February 2011.
With the date approaching M-Net has announced that the show's doing one final sweep of all the participating countries with in-the-flesh auditions i.e. you go along, do your thang and impress.
Last Chance To Enter & CallbacksThe auditions serve two purposes: they're a final chance to enter and they're also callbacks for those who've already entered.
Selectors are going through the entry forms as we speak and will call you if they'd like to see you for a callback.
The auditions cover the 14 participating countries and begin this Monday, 28 February.
