Luzuko Mashalaba is one of the latest housemates to be evicted from the fifth season of the reality show Big Brother Mzansi. He was evicted alongside actor Sphamandla Sipha Lee Mthembu and Abongile "Ezra" Mhambi in a shocking triple elimination.

In his post-interview with presenter Smash Afrika, the 26-year-old was candid about his friendship with fellow housemate Jojo, real name Karabo Sejojo. The two had viewers confused about their connection, as it wasn't clear if there was more to the friendship than what people could see. But it turns out theirs was a genuine, platonic relationship.

Luzuko's platonic relationship with Jojo

Luzuko had always had an eye for Jojo from the beginning of the show. In the post-interview, he explained that they connected on a deeper level. He said:

"She and I connected on a deeper level. She ticks all the boxes and apparently, I also tick all her boxes. We even spoke that we would continue this platonic relationship of ours outside the house.”

In the Big Brother house, it was evident that the two were fond of each other. At some point, Jojo confronted Luzuko about what she thought was yet another relationship Luzuko had with fellow housemate Mandy Hagan. But he was quick to set the record straight with Jojo.

Luzuko had a heart-to-heart conversation with Jojo, assuring her that there was no romantic involvement between him and Mandy Hagan. This revelation seemed to bring some relief to Jojo, who has been vocal about not wanting to be accused of stealing someone's man.

Luzuko's exit from Big Brother Mzansi

Last week, Luzuko received fewer votes from the public, leading to his eviction on Sunday. Unlike fellow contestant Ashley Ogle's eviction on Monday, viewers were not surprised by his elimination from the show.

However, Luzuko's exit did not land well on Jojo, who went to bed in tears immediately after the live eviction show.

Some viewers believed he was just part of the furniture, as he had nothing to offer. However, during the interview, he expressed that he didn't believe he was part of the furniture; instead, he was planning on turning things around in the weeks ahead.
