‘King Khosi’: South African takes home the Big Brother Titans crown

South African housemate Khosi Twala took the crown as the winner of Big Brother Titans, walking away with R1.7 million.


Big Brother Titans fans are celebrating along with this year’s winner, Khosi Twala who took home the  US$100 000 grand prize in a glittering finale on Sunday evening. 

The 25-year-old is from KwaZulu-Natal but when she entered the competition, she lived in Johannesburg. 

She is reportedly a journalist who believes that her talkative, open-minded, adventurous and self-aware nature makes her perfect for that career. 

Breaking borders

According to DStv, the highly anticipated, border-breaking #BBTitans was a fusion of Big Brother Mzansi and Big Brother Naija, featuring 20 housemates from both countries. 

Throughout the season, the housemates competed in various tasks and challenges, with the audience voting on who they wanted to stay in the game and ultimately win the US$100 000 prize.

In the end, Khosi emerged victorious, overwhelmed with joy as she was presented with the prize money.
