A reliable source has confirmed to BBAfanclub that Big Brother Africa 2015 has been called off.
News about the cancellation of the show first trickled in from Ghana after the Manager of MultiChoice Ghana, Anne Sackey, told Razz newspaper that they (MultiChoice Ghana) have received notice from M-Net that this year's edition of Big Brother Africa will not be happening.
She explained that M-Net did not give them any reasons as to why the show won't be televised this year, but she personally thinks it's due to sponsorship constraints.
"They didn't give us any reason though, but I think it's mainly because of cash constraints as we all know the show is very expensive to put up," she said.
Anne Sackey continued that since the organizers don't have a constant annual headline sponsor (s) for the show, it becomes difficult sometimes getting sponsors.
"They don't have fixed sponsors for the show. Every year the sponsor changes, sometimes it's CocaCola, sometimes MTN and other companies from Ghana have sponsored before," she noted.
However, an insider has told us that other reasons probably contributed to the cancellation too, specifically the logistical difficulties the show faced last season, most especially Visa issues and the house burning down before the season started.
An official statement is expected to be released soon.
