The biggest reality show in Africa is back and AfricaMagic can reveal that season eight of ‘Big Brother Africa’ has been dramatically titled ‘The Chase’.A total of 28 housemates from 14 countries will not only be chasing after the US$300 000 cash prize but the chance of becoming a household name and perhaps even finding romance.Launching on Sunday, May 26, ‘Big Brother The Chase’ will combine electrifying twists and big surprises that will require housemates to use their charm to get ahead, possibly leaving room for cupid’s arrow to connect two hearts or more.More good news is that the witty and entertaining IK Osakioduwa returns once again in 2013 to host ‘The Chase’.
