‘Big Brother Mzansi’: Mphowabadimo, Nale & Themba Keep Securing the Bag Even After Leaving the Show

Season 3 of Big Brother Mzansi had viewers hooked from the very beginning. While there could only be one winner, the show definitely delivered on some big personalities that kept Mzansi entertained every step of the way. Now only one big question is on all our tongues- where are our fav's now?

Mphowabadimo wins it all

The wide-eyed girl from Daveyton may not have been very popular amongst her housemates but quickly won over viewers with her confidence.

Mphowabadimo made her mark as the house's official sangoma, seeking guidance from the ancestors at every turn. This strong connection to the other side would secure Mpho a seat in the final despite being nominated for eviction almost every week.

'The Underground Gang', as Mpho affectionately refers to her legion of fans, often defended their fave from housemates who sought to mock her spirituality, TimesLive reports. They also praised the young starlet for securing the win without any help:

"No alliances in the house, just her playing the game. No paid influencers to promote her outside, just the #UndergroundGang having her back. We love you Mpho," tweeted one fan.

With the R2 million jackpot in the bag, there's no telling what this budding media personality has up her sleeves. She kept things mysterious earlier this year, letting fans know she'd signed off on a few deals but could not share all the juicy deets just yet.

The media personality also announced a partnership with one of SA's biggest alcohol brands. She's been securing the bag in every single direction.

Nale's ultimate betrayal

Naledi Mogadime aka 'Nale' was the firecracker South Africans never knew they needed. The Pretoria-based model was never shy to share her love for the finer things in life, confidently describing herself as a "fine gyal, not a sad gyal."

Nale's ride on the show came to an unthinkable end when fellow housemate, Libo used his Head of House veto power to nominate her for eviction. The decision was a major shock to viewers especially since the contestants had seemed to build a genuine friendship.

Opening up about the massive betrayal, the model says she was hurt:

“We did our chores together, we slept in the same area, we spoke about everything. And now you’re gonna put by a** on the chopping block? That is dark," she told News24.

"Libo was like a big brother to me. Considering that I was not nominated, what he did rocked me. I had to sit with myself and realise that we are not the same, he was just playing a game like everyone else," she added.

As Briefly News previously reported, members of the #GhostNation felt really bad for not securing their boy the win by not voting. To make up for it, fans decided they'd start a GoFundMe instead and make sure their fav's dreams came true.

At the time fans had raised over R200 000, TimesLive reports.

Themba had his followers impressed after using the money to secure a brand new apartment. Many tweeps were happy to see the young entrepreneur back on his feet and were glad the 'underdog' finally seemed to be winning.
