  • Record a 2-minute video clip of yourself showing Big Brother what you’re made of and explain why you deserve to be in the upcoming season of Big Brother Mzansi.
  • While doing this, ensure you are real, try as much as possible to be yourself and be self-confident.
  • Ensure you use a very high-quality phone camera to make the video attractive enough for the panel to watch.
  • Hold the camera firmly to avoid a blurry video output and if necessary, you can record with light to ensure your video is not dark and your face is well seen.
  • If you notice any error in the video, you can quickly edit it or redo another video to stand a better chance of winning the audition.
  • Your camera must be held horizontally, not in portrait style, and make sure you put real-life examples or experiences when describing yourself.

  • If, in reviewing your form, any inconsistency in your BioData or deliberate withholding of information that is very relevant to your personality is noticed, you may be disqualified from the selection process.
