As part of the experience, the influencer, real name Anika Kungentando Dambuza, had her phone taken away while she was in the house. Thankfully, unlike the official housemates, her social media break was for one night.

She filmed herself bidding farewell to her family, with her husband Sihle joking that she was acting as though she was the one going away for three months.

Upon meeting other content creators, they hopped on a bus that took them to the house, where they were met by the production crew and had sound equipment fitted as they were briefed on the rules of the house, marking the official start of their journey.

The following day, Dambuza was back online and shared photos of herself and the other content creators, with the return host, Smash Afrika, being featured in the carousel, and she shared a brief review from the experience.
