M-Net has announced that it is extending the deadline for entries for Big Brother Africa 3 reality television show.
Would-be housemates now have until May 7, 2008 to complete and submit their entry form for the hit reality series, an extension of 7 days from the initial deadline of April 30.
According to Joseph Hundah, M-Net director of Operations for sub-Saharan Africa the extension was initiated to give entrants a few more days to complete the comprehensive entry form and to give late entrants an opportunity to get their entries in.
"From the moment we announced a third season of Big Brother Africa, entries have been pouring in. We've already received thousands and thousands of entries from across Africa . However, given requests for a longer entry period, plus the fact that we have the time and resources required to facilitate this, we decided to extend the deadline. I wish all entrants the best of luck and thank those who've already applied. Big Brother Africa 3 is here and there are only 12 spaces for housemates. If you want to be one of them and stand a chance of winning $100 000, get your entry in!"
To enter Big Brother Africa 3, simply collect entry form from your nearest MultiChoice office or log on to www.mnetafrica.com.

If you’re fluent in English, fun-loving, vocal, creative, original and articulate, then you should definitely enter. Remember that all entrants must be tolerant of views and lifestyle choices other than their own and must have the social flexibility to live in close proximity with others.
