Fashioning Modern Africanism

Brother Mzansi   housemates shook as Venus and Nale are the latest to be evicted.  Yup, we’ve reached that stage of the game where no one is safe, no matter how popular they might be.   When asked by host Lawrence Maleka if she saw her eviction coming, Richards Bay native Venus said: “Yes. I felt too peaceful the whole week, weirdly calm. I’ve been in the   Big Brother   house for seven weeks, that was the first time where I felt so at ease. I knew that there was a shock that’s coming.”   When asked about her in-house romances with B.U. and Themba, and who of the two she might choose to be with, she said: “I’ll let time tell. I don’t know the versions of themselves outside of the house. I played my game; I don’t know how they played theirs.”   Nale from Pretoria wasn’t nominated for eviction by anyone but ended up in danger after Libo used his Head of House veto power to nominate her – this was particularly shocking because the two had formed a close friendship on the show.     A smili

After a drama-filled eviction show on Sunday evening, Sis Tamara has, for the second time, emerged as the new Head of House in the   Big Brother Mzansi   house – meaning that they have immunity from eviction next time Biggie wields the axe!

For the first time this season, all housemates were given 45 seconds to nominate three housemates for the live eviction. Sis Tamara furthered on their nomination, explaining that they were nominating Themba because he only participates in the challenges to gain immunity, Terry because she is direct competition, and Vino because he is coasting, cruising through, and is too comfortable in  Big Brother Mzansi  – ouch!
