Hosted for the very first time by the dynamic Smash Afrika, the Umlilo season is off to a scorching start.

Whether he was rocking sharp suits or trendy streetwear, Smash Afrika delivered looks we didn’t know we needed. His style game was on point, making him not only a host to remember but a fashion icon in the making for this season.
The excitement didn’t stop there. As the show went on, we were introduced to the first set of 20 hopefuls, all vying for their chance to claim the superstardom that only Biggie can provide. The energy on the stage was electric as the new housemates made their entrance, ready to bring their personalities, strategies, and drama into Biggie’s world. From the get-go, it was clear: these 20 housemates are ready to make waves, shake things up, and prove that they deserve to be part of the coveted BBMzansi experience.
But as we all know, Biggie loves a good twist. In a surprising turn of events, Biggie unveiled a new twist by announcing that four more housemates would be joining the game. These additional housemates were selected in a thrilling housemate decider game led by Bonnie Bee, who emerged as the central leader of the game. This added an element of strategy and excitement, with the first 20 housemates having the power to shape the game’s dynamics from the very start.
