@o_yaaya commented:

"The way I screamed, I commented on a post about 2 weeks ago that I hope Liema wins because she stood up for those who couldn’t stand up for themselves, and as a mother to a young girl who was bullied, I could only hope there was a Liema around to stand up for my baby. Thalians came for me, but this win is so personal. I am so happy, man. I’m in tears."

@RobertMboneni said:

"We know that you're the real winner...they robbed you of this crown. In South Africa and Africa at large, you are the actual winner, and to us as Italians."

@odedanilo reacted:

"The real winner this season is Thandeka. The other girl had been on this show before and already had a half-million fan base established. Has campaigns for the show, performed on the show, and even has friends in production. It was obvious. TDK. Well Done #BBMzansiS6."

@OmnipotenttHP responded:

"She is probably dating someone big inside the production. There is no way, bro..it was scripted for her."

@Mr_HustleZA said:

"How does a show give out the winning title to someone who had their time in the same show before? Why didn't you create a show where the previous housemates can compete amongst themselves? Fu** DSTV and fu** big brother. You stole from the newcomers, and you should be ashamed of yourselves."

@NehaNehali responded:

"People have been saying that the show is rigged & we didn't wanna believe it. Following Ashay's eviction, it became clear that the production was using newbies to redeem the returnees. We're pissed to the core. If it were a fair game, then all the HMS should have been returnees."
