What you need to know about burnt Big Brother Africa house

The 9th season of M-Net and Endemol-produced show, Big Brother Africa has been temporarily moved forward due to the inferno that damaged a substantial part of the production’s live studio, Sasani Studio.

Although there has been no information on how the inferno, which engulfed the studio on Tuesday, September 2, 2014, started, the production company, Endemol South Africa and M-Net have had to battle multiple production challenges in the studio which is situated on Johannesburg road, Highland North in South Africa.

At the moment, the organisers are working hard to ensure the show kicks off in no time as the inferno has set the show’s commencement back by at least a week.
