They're all South African. They're all outspoken.
They will live together in a specially constructed house, completely isolated from the outside world, watched 24/7 by viewing audiences across the country.
Each week housemates will nominate each other for eviction.
The housemates who get the most nominations will have to survive a viewer vote. If they don't, they're evicted out of the game instantly.
Only the last person remaining at the end will take home the mega jackpot of R2-million.
Along the way Big Brother, that infamous and legendary character at the centre of it all, will no doubt be introducing his own twists and turns into the game.
Given that this is a 100% South African version of Big Brother, and South Africa has 11 official languages, housemates can speak in any of these languages although Big Brother himself will primarily communicate in English.
This season, with the tagline "S'ya Mosha", is all about disruption, challenging perceptions and boldly breaking free from the norm.
With this being the season of disruption, the housemates – a dynamic mix of fun, crazy and bold characters from diverse backgrounds – will do their best to outwit each other to win the hearts of the audience and ultimately the grand prize.
Lawrence Maleka returns as host this season.
Kicking off the entertainment on the launch show is DJ and producer Tyler ICU and Amapiano musician and dancer Kamo Mphela.
The night's second performance will be from the Gqom music scene, Dladla Mshunqisi ft Siboniso Shozi, DJ Tira, Blacks Jnr and Rockboy.

Genre: Comedy
This single-camera comedy follows a widowed dad, Kenan (Kenan Thompson), who's juggling a high-profile job as the host of an Atlanta morning show and raising his two girls.
As Kenan tries to move on, his father-in-law (Don Johnson), brother and co-workers all have strong opinions on the best way to live his life.
The show centres on the familial relationships as Kenan tries to reclaim his life after his wife's death.
Kenan's daughters are his world – the too smart Aubrey and the silly, unpredictable Birdie.
He struggles to balance parenting them as a single dad and hosting his show, which leads him to reluctantly accept help from his father-in-law, Rick.
Rick was a gallivanting sax player when his daughter, Cori, was young and missed out on a lot of her childhood, so he is aiming to make that up with his granddaughters, although his old-school parenting style does not often match up to Kenan's.
At work, Kenan excels at his job with the help of his driven executive producer, Mika.
Mika can be tightly wound, especially when Gary, as Kenan's not-so-managerial manager, tries to insert himself, but Mika remains a confidante and ally to Kenan.
They are able to be vulnerable with one another and connect as friends... and maybe something more.
In the series premiere, "Pilot": Kenan thinks he's adjusted to life as a busy, single parent but after everyone confronts him about denying his grief, he realises it's time to make some changes.
Gary thinks it's time for Rick to move out of the house.
