Big Brother Africa Profile
Angelo entered Big Brother because he realised that life is too short and “one shouldn’t limit the things you want to do”. The Capetonian is excited to have the continent’s eyes on him and sees it as an opportunity for Africa to see him and for him to share himself.
If he wins the grand prize, he would start a small business, help an orphanage and help his mom and family with a better life.
Angelo describes himself as “tall, dark, adventurous and handsome” and attributes his confidence to being relaxed and comfortable in his own skin. He dislikes arrogant, self-centred and rude people, preferring people who are confident and know what they want in life.
He says that viewers can expect “a lot of craziness” from him, believing he has a funny personality and will make people laugh.
He enjoys pasta, sushi and Thai dishes and lists his favourite books as The Alchemist and The Witch of Portobello by Paulo Coelho.
His favourite TV shows include Family Guy, Entourage and 30 Rock and his favourite films are The Notebook, Safe Haven and Get Rich or Die Trying.
Angelo’s favourite musicians are Trey Songz, L’il Wayne, Maxwell and Miguel and he says that Denzel Washington is his favourite actor.
Angelo says his favourite spot in South Africa is a coastal town called Hermanus, where he likes to go whale watching. The best thing about Africa? The people, sunsets, mountains and how different, yet how similar cultural values are. Outside of his home country, he says he loves Mozambique, where he visited some amazing islands.
