Fashioning Modern Africanism

Last night was a wrap of a highly dramatic week with an equally dramatic live eviction show with Sammy M becoming the second housemate to be evicted from the Big Brother Mzansi S'ya Mosha house. Her eviction follows a nomination show that saw the Head of House, Disruptor Neo, saving and replacing McJunior with Zee. In her on-stage interaction with host Lawrence, Sammy M shed light on the nature of her relationship with Willy and described him as a crush that turned into a kissing buddy. She let the audience in on where her mind was in the house, saying she did not want to wear her heart on her sleeve and reveal her feelings for him. Meanwhile, in the house, the housemates expressed an expected shock at her departure, with Yolanda visibly devastated by this eviction. It may be considered an unexpected reaction from Yolanda when Sammy M described her as the one housemate she couldn't stand in the house. However, Sammy M did express her appreciation of being in the Big Brother Hou

Celebrating in style, Khosi was presented with the US$100,000 grand prize and loudly cheered on by the vibrant studio audience, marking the end of an unforgettable first edition of  Big Brother Titans. The highly anticipated, border-breaking   #BBTitans  was a fusion of  Big Brother Mzansi  and  Big Brother Naija , featuring 20 housemates from both countries. With the whopping US$100,000 up for grabs, the housemates competed in various tasks and challenges, with the audience voting on who they wanted to stay in the game and ultimately win. After several intense weeks, Khosi (South Africa), Ipeleng (South Africa), Ebubu (Nigeria), Tsatsii (South Africa), Kanaga Jnr (Nigeria) and Yvonne (Nigeria) made it to the finale – hoping fans who followed their journey would resonate with their game strategies and entertainment to win the competition. In the end, Khosi emerged as the winner. She was overwhelmed with joy as she was presented with the prize money. The  Big Brother Titans  season feat

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
