A brand-new season of Big Brother Mzansi is finally here, and Bazozwa is bringing the heat. From 11 January, a fresh set of housemates stepped into Biggie’s world, ready to rewrite their stories, shake things up, and convince Mzansi why they are the ones worth watching – and the ones worth voting for.

As the drama unfolds, alliances form, and personalities clash, your votes will decide who stays and who goes. If you already have favourites (and trust us, you will), here’s everything you need to know to keep them in the game.
