Africa, will also see 28 new housemates from 14
countries being revealed to audiences in over 50
African countries for this year's show already
dramatically tagged "The Chase".
For 91 days, the reality series will be screened live
24/7 on DStv channels 197 and 198 while GOtv

will combine electrifying twists and big surprises
that will require housemates to use their charm to
get ahead, possibly leaving room for cupid's arrow
to connect two hearts or more.
The witty and entertaining Nigerian On-Air-
Personality IK Osakioduwa returns once again in
2013 to host "The Chase".
He has won many fans across the continent for his
ability to speak openly with housemates and allow
them to be at ease at their most vulnerable
moments.
"Big Brother Africa is a pretty unique show. Every
season has its own special moments and features.
I'm super excited to be invited back to host the
show. I have thoroughly enjoyed the past seasons
and I look forward to bringing a fresh and energetic
approach to The Chase," said Osakioduwa.
Organisers assured that the continent can expect a
sensational performance that will ignite the Big
Brother live show stage on Sunday.
Audiences can look forward to sassy and upbeat
tunes from Kenya's award winner, STL. The singer
and rapper, boasting hit songs such as "Take My
Time" , "Hula Hoop", "Bad as I Wanna Be",
promises to deliver an unforgettable performance
with her distinct pop, soul and rap sound.
Representing Nigeria during the big night are
Mavin Records team of Don Jazzy, D' Prince and
Wande Coal.

energetic and charming personas.
Last but not least, one of South Africa's leading
Afro Pop music groups, Mafikizolo will also
serenade audiences with their soulful and rhythmic
tunes on the big launch night. There will be some
comic relief from Kenyan stand-up comedian
Daniel Ndambuki, popularly known as Churchill.

household name with his TV show called "Churchill
Live". Late singer Goldie Harvey, Chris and Ola
made it to the Big Brother house last year as

show. Kevin Pam, Uti Nwachukwu and Karen Igho
