The first group of 20 Big Brother mzansi season 5 housemates  were unveiled, each determined to claim the superstardom that only Biggie can offer. The stage buzzed with excitement as the new housemates made their grand entrances, bringing bold personalities, strategic plans, and a flair for drama into Biggie’s domain. From the very beginning, it was clear that this dynamic cast is here to stir things up, make an impact, and prove they belong in the highly sought-after BBMzansi spotlight.

True to form, Biggie didn’t hold back on surprises. In a shocking twist, he announced that four additional housemates would be joining the competition.
