Now that the dust has settled on the dramatic announcement of Mphowabadimo’s win, we can now get a word from the winner herself.
Just like most of the other Housemates, Mphowabadimo’s Journey started on the 23rd January 2022 with 18 housemates, who a week later increased to 20 after the introduction of Vyno and Nthabii. Mphowabadimo together with the 19 housemates had been selected from tens of thousands of hopefuls: people oping to jumpstart their careers or – if they could win this thing – take home R2 million along with it.
She went through a couple of hard times in the house, not so many housemates warmed unto her, being nominated week in, week out but through her strong Fanbase “Underground Gang” she always managed to keep her head above water until the final week, top 10, top 8, top 5, then top 2 and eventually announced the winner.

She is also – incidentally – the first woman to win any edition of a Big Brother in South Africa, ever.
Since getting out of the house, Mphowabadimo has been quite busy, conducting numerous interviews with different media houses, attending various events among others.
She applauded her fanbase for standing with her through all the thick and tough. she said:
