The highly anticipated new season of Big Brother Mzansi has kicked off, and while the contestants have already started bringing the heat, we take a look at the mansion that features a number of cameras that capture the contestants’ every move.

Biggie’s newly revamped house has upgrades that align perfectly with the theme of the season, “Umlilo”.

The house is a visual spectacle: from modern amenities to a sparkling swimming pool, jacuzzi and entertainment area, they sure went all out for this season. 

Here's a peek at where the housemates are staying:
