Big Brother Africa Profile
Alex is a student from Kiambu, currently studying towards a degree in Computer Science – and he already has a Diploma in Business and Communication Technology under his belt.
His favourite foods are nyama choma and roasted meat and fries and his favourite book is The Secret. He likes watching Medical Detectives on TV and listening to Adele. His favourite actor is Leonardo DiCaprio.
Alex's role model is Steve Jobs, for his determination to bring a new era in the field of technology. His mother has had a huge influence on his life because she does a lot for the family and "no matter how much we have annoyed her, she still loves us!".
The achievement he is most proud of is being part of Kenya's 2010 Referendum where he worked as a data agent and helped make a change in his country.
He was inspired to enter Big Brother StarGame by his brother – and game partner – Malonza. "I found Big Brother will be an opportunity to bond with him," he says. Asked about how he feels knowing Africa will be watching him 24/7, he says "it's amazing, particularly knowing my friends will be watching. The energy builds up when you are yourself and that's how you'll get the votes," he says.
Alex describes himself as caring, patient, jealous, determined and strict and thinks his best trait is his ability to socialise with people and make friends with strangers. He dislikes corruption, people who complain but never do anything and back-stabbers.
He says he will be using Big Brother StarGame as a chance to meet new people in the House and understand what they do.
