The official social media accounts of Big Brother Mzansi were flooded with complaints from viewers who felt left out due to the lack of English being spoken. One disgruntled viewer exclaimed, “So no English?
That means we don’t know who to vote for. What kind of show is this?” Another frustrated fan questioned, “If they are not speaking English, then why am I following this page? How am I supposed to understand what’s happening?”
On the other hand, there were supporters who embraced the decision, defending the use of any South African language. One enthusiastic viewer declared, “It’s Big Brother MZANSI, let them use ANY South African language.”
However, some viewers from other countries expressed their disappointment, stating that they loved the show but felt excluded because they couldn’t understand the conversations.
Language plays a crucial role in the entertainment industry, especially when it comes to reality shows like Big Brother Mzansi. Finding the right balance between showcasing cultural diversity and ensuring inclusivity for all viewers is a challenge.
While it’s important to celebrate and promote native languages, it’s equally essential to provide subtitles or translations to cater to a broader audience.
