Fire Guts Big Brother Africa House In S'Africa

The Big Brother Africa house in Johannesburg, South Africa, was today
gutted by fire.

According to a statement by M-Net and Endemol, as well as tweets
monitored on the Big Brother Africa twitter handle, the "devastating
fire" has necessitated a need to postpone the September 7, 2014 launch
of the Big Brother Hotshots.

It said, "The cause of the fire, at this stage, is unknown and
investigations will commence as soon as it is safe to do so.

"At this stage M-Net and Endemol are urgently looking for an
alternative Big Brother house in which to film the production, however
as this production has highly technical infrastructure, camera and
edit requirements an alternative is not immediately available. Every
effort will be made to find a solution as quickly as possible to
ensure that Africa's biggest reality show will continue."

No life was lost as a result of the fire, and no one was injured. The
BBA house is located at the Sasani Studios in Johannesburg, South
Africa.
