For a show that started over a decade ago, one would think that Big Brother was past its sell-by date but if trending topics are anything to go by, that is not the case for Big Brother Mzansi.
The latest season of the local version of the international smash hit has captured the imaginations of many around the country since its debut last weekend, and both the hashtags #BBMzansi and #BigBrotherMzansi have enjoyed the top two spots respectively.
Fan favourites have already emerged from this year’s cohort of housemates. The first was sangoma Mpho Wabadimo, who was quite the social media sensation prior to entering the house, and tattoo artist Themba. The last fan favourite is Naledi and one look at her explains why everyone instantly fell in love with the model.
