Bio
Tawana Lebani (31) is a Motswana farmer from Gaborone best known as one of the 12 housemates on the third season of the reality television competition Big Brother Africa, in 2008.
Lebani holds a BSc Honors degree, is a qualified microbiologist from the University of Port Elizabeth in South Africa and currently manages her own goat farm.
She entered Big Brother Africa for the experience because she finds it “an opportunity to learn something new.” Tawana encourages audiences to watch her on the show because she never plans everything, "so everything will be a surprise".
Asked for her motto she says that "if you do something, be prepared to lay claim to it." And asked what she would teach the world if given the chance and the 31-year old says it would be forgiveness.
Saying that she deals with stress by cleaning, Tawana’s message to viewers is to watch and listen with an open mind and don’t judge too much. The Formula One fan says that the best advice she ever got was from her sister who said, "Stop selling yourself short and being afraid of taking chances."
Counting Westlife, Tracy Chapman and Michael Jackson among her favourite musicians, Tawana’s favourite song at the moment is Love In This Club. She is also a fan of Morgan Freeman, Anthony Hopkins and Edward Norton.
Revealing a bad habit, Tawana says that she sometimes speaks before she thinks.
