Seeing Ricco off at the airport earlier today, it finally dawned on me ukuthi yah, vele, Big Brother Africa 3 is over and it's time to move nge life.
As much as we complained about how boring it was, bottom line is that it did entertain us somewhat and that's why we remained vocal throughout the show.
Ricco walked in the house as a good looking boy from Angola and came out as a damn good looking, famous African millionaire who attracts attention where ever he goes.

This was evident at the airport because of the many people who were either staring at him, whispering to one another about his identity and with those who came to ask for hugs and to have their pictures taken with him.
Shame, he was so gracious about it all and I'm so proud of him for the way he handled his new "fans".
The perks of being "BBA winner" are great too coz even though he was supposed to fly economy, when we got to the check-in counter, the guy in the blue shirt changed his ticket to business class and told us that Ricco's dad phoned him and told him to arrange that. (Am wondering why we've never heard any mention of Ricco's dad)
Seems Ricco also met "uncles" he didn't know before the show. Like the nice gentleman on the right.
I don't know if "uncle" knows that Ricco won $100 000 coz I saw him reach into his pocket and give Ricco money. Not sure how much it was but it was a few notes.
At least we know, whether or not Ricco is only meeting him now, it ain't about the money!
Uncle's last words to Ricco? "Enjoy your fame"! Viva Uncle....
Ricco's VISA had expired on 02 November and was therefore supposed to pay a penalty but hey, he's Ricco so the people at Immigration told him he didn't have to pay!
I don't understand how life works, rich people don't pay but if he was a nobody who's poor, he would have had to pay! Heheheh
Ricco says he'll be back in SA next week to start working on his musical project (I assume it's with Munya) so I guess this is just a goodbye to Ricco the BBA housemate coz next week we'll be saying hello to Ricco the musician.
Funny, I've never heard Ricco sing/rap & if his song at the wedding is anything to go by, Munya ain't no great singer either so I'm wondering how this whole singing thing is gonna work.
We'll keep you posted!
Goodbye Ricco...you stole Hazel's money though!!!
