Big Brother Mzansi contestant Buhle B was the latest housemate to get the boot on Sunday, 8 February 2026.

Tensions were high in the Bazozwa house, where contestants were forced to introspect during the dramatic live show.

Ushered by host Smash Afrika, he questioned the housemates on the tension among the ladies, as well as the romances that had formed in the house. Among those love stories were Buhle B and Tumi the Barber's romance, which many viewers noted was a recipe for disaster.

The pair launched their "ship" on the show and became serious rather quickly, a period that saw Buhle become overly territorial over her man. Their romance also caused friction between Buhle and the other ladies in the house, where Buhle often accused her housemate of wanting Tumi, and Liema Pantsi was one of them.

The singer's feud with Buhle began when Buhle accused Liema of flirting with her partner, leading to several clashes and one epic "crashout" where Liema confronted the couple.

Their fallout reached a fever pitch during the live eviction, as Liema’s fanbase took to social media to claim victory after the hostility Buhle directed toward her during her time in the house.

Buhle was one of three housemates to be let out, including Kokii and Mshefane, and her name was mentioned last, a dramatic closing to an equally drama-filled few weeks.

Reacting to her exit, Buhle told Smash that she trusted that it was "God's plan and timing," but was mostly saddened to leave her man behind. Taking to her Instagram page, she offered a heartfelt thank you to her fans,

"Thank you to everyone who took their time and efforts to support, vote for and love Buhle B! It doesn’t go unnoticed."

Meanwhile, for Liema, she continues to stand tall with the support of her loyal fanbase, proving that staying grounded in the face of conflict is a winning strategy both inside and outside the house.
