Big Brother Roki a celebrity housemate

Zimbabwe urban music sensation Roki has been selected for this year’s Big Brother StarGame which is scheduled to start airing on Sunday. Roki joins other celebrities from Nigeria, Kenya, Zambia, South Africa, Namibia and Ghana.

The celebrity housemates with ages ranging from 25 to 34 are; Nigeria’s pop music artiste, Goldie; Rapper Prezzo from Kenya; Barbz, a model from South Africa; R&B songstress Mampi from Zambia; Musician Lady May from Namibia; Roki from Zimbabwe; and DKB from Ghana.

Aspiring actress and model, Karen Igho from Nigeria and Zimbabwean pilot, Wendall Parson won the 2011 edition of Africa’s most popular reality TV show, Big Brother Amplified. Other participants like Munyaradzi Chidzonga and Vimbai Mutinhiri have also done very well on the show

The show which held Africans glued to their Television sets each year with surprises lurking in every corner will take that experience up a notch this year with the various surprises already showing up. This year will have additional new twists which require that contestants double-up with anyone of their choice.

The plot even gets more interesting as the reality TV show not only unveiled the newly designed house that will be home to the contestants for 91 days; but also revealed that 7 celebrity housemates will be participating in the season seven of what can only be called Africa’s biggest reality Television show.

Commenting on the series, M-Net Africa MD Biola Alabi said;

“It’s super to see the high level of interaction StarGame is getting from fans, media and viewers. The guessing around who the housemates will be; people trying to work out what Biggie is planning; the rumours and the speculation; it all adds to the excitement. It’s great for the show to get this type of support from the Big Brother community who really do engage with it, even before it starts on air. I want to thank them and promise that we’re working hard to deliver a great series.”
