Organisers of the Big Brother Africa competition have allegedly rejected the candidates selected to represent Ghana at the contest.

According to a source at MultiChoice in South Africa, the four candidates were rejected on the basis of the Ebola scare in West Africa.

Sources at Endemol, producers of the BBA show, said the four candidates who made it through the selection stage in Ghana were rejected because of the Ebola Scare in the West African sub-region.

An official revealed that fresh auditions are being held to select new Ghanaian candidates for the popular TV reality show of the continent.

The new audition is only opened to Ghanaian nationals leaving in South Africa as a precautionary measure.

It is expected that the same thing will be done to candidates from all of West Africa, especially countries where the Ebola disease has been recorded
