The official launch follows an intense final stretch of voting, which concluded at 6:00 p.m. today. The contestants were chosen from an initial pool of 42 top qualifiers, with public votes cast exclusively via Afrimoney determining who secured a spot.

In a joint statement, Executive Producers Amb. Anthony Navo Jr. of AYV and Shadi Gerjawi of Africell emphasized that public votes alone determined contestant selection. They issued a strong warning against fraudsters, stating, “If any Housemates Salone organizer, AYV and Africell staff or any other person approaches you claiming they can influence your final qualification or entry into the House, do not believe them. Tell them it’s a big lie.”

The competition begins with an immediate power shift, as Aminata Abdulai (Housemate #2) and Abdul Kamara (Housemate #8) were crowned the season’s first Power Couple due to their strong public support, granting them immunity from this week’s eviction.

This season, themed “Clean Game,” boasts a grand prize of NLe 1,000,000 (One Billion Old Leones) and an exclusive trip to Dubai. The show will air live on DStv Channel 399, StarTimes via BSK Channel 200, and AYV Media Empire’s channel 34. Viewers can also stream the program on demand through the BSK mobile application.

Since its debut, Housemates Salone has become a cornerstone of Sierra Leonean entertainment, known for showcasing youth talent and ambition. With the 26 contestants now inside, the game is officially on.
