Mandla Hlatswayo made this the most exciting, hilariously funny and totally captivating Big Brother finale the uhdikts had ever witnessed.
The man who lived 80% of his stay in the Big Brother Mzansi house semi-naked almost walked out the house in the same state. We all hoped he would be evicted or announced the winner in that semi-nude state. Yeah, pervs!
That man's arousal state has trended on twitter longer than previous Big Brother winner Richard's gazunga which also had left uhdikts gasping for air whenever he rolled it out. I know y'all remember those Richiana encounters.
I caught up with him after his win on Sunday night and discovered juicy things about him.
He's been running his spaza for 3 years to finance his family needs, which includes papgeld for his child. He named the spaza with his 2 sisters by using their childhood names Bobo (Mandla), Bokhe(sp) and Mobiza(sp) therefore resulting in BBM spaza. He also has other acronyms for BBM such as Baie Belangrik Man and Black BusinessMan.
His dedication to his day job is what made him discover and audition for Big Brother Mzansi. He was in town looking for a fridge part for the spaza when he heard about the auditions.
He says his curiosity made him go to the auditions. He was just going about his business and really had no plan of entering. He thought he could challenge his creative side.
When he was recalled for all the iterations of interviews he was surprised. He didn't think that he was gonna last so he told his family he is coming to Johannesburg for a couple of weeks to look for a job. The next thing they were watching him on tv. Nobody in his family had any idea about his acceptance into the Big Brother house.
His semi-nude stay in the house is really how he is in his personal environment. His family have no idea about everything in that space so they may also have been surprised. When he leaves the spaza and goes to his space, he gets comfortable in his underwear and does everything in that semi-nude state.
He had a on-off relationship with his girlfriend Sthandaza back home. When he went into the house things were not rosy. He was uncertain of their relationship status when he went into the house therefore he took the time to himself to pursue Lexi in the house. He hopes to make amends with Sthandaza, discuss their relations, his actions and where to from here.
At the after-party.His relationship with Lexi was a process, requiring more time by himself to assess his emotions which was sparked by a connection. It was purely consensual in all aspects including the sex.
When asked if he would make a sex tape, his response was he would have to see the first one before embarking on a second tape. He needs to see if there would be any improvements required. He will have an hour coffee date with Lexi, as they had promised each other in the house, to understand the relationship now outside the house.
He will not make any commitments, at this time, to charity work and donations until he knows how much he will actually get into his account after the biggest charity NGO called SARS has taken their share. For all he knows, he may get R10 therefore what charity work can he do with that? He can't even start an NGO with R10. When he eventually has the money, he will make his papgeld (child maintenance) a priority.
Mandla then requested to take over the press conference to say a couple of words. He sent a huge thank you to everyone that made sure he wins the money, his supporters and those that didn't like him but voted for him. He is truly grateful and thanks you from the deepest part of his heart.
