Bio

Poolie Poole is a South African warehouse clerk best known for being a contestant on the third season of the Mzansi Magic reality competition television series Big Brother Mzansi, in 2014.

Big Brother Bio

Capetonian Poolie (29) from Mitchell's Plain is a warehouse clerk who describes himself as "ambitious, driven, social, organized and dedicated".

Divorced and single, Poolie supports soccer teams Liverpool FC and Ajax Cape Town, has a pet dog called Chazz and speaks English, Afrikaans and a little Xhosa.

Listing his favourite screen stars (Johnny Depp, Vin Diesel, Penelope Cruz and Cameron Diaz) and musicians (Ludacris, DJ Kent, Black Coffee, KCee, Lil Wayne, Usher, Drake and Mi Casa), Poolie's favourite songs include Bob Marley's One Love, Lauryn Hill's That Thing and Chris Brown's Love More.

He sees Rio as a great holiday destination saying, "I really want to go visit the Semana Do Monumento, and experience the night life and food." He'd also love to visit Holland, tour the country and watch a live soccer game there.

Detailing his bad habits as biting his nails, stubbornness and sleep walking, Poolie relaxes listening to deep house music, reading and swimming. His hobbies include indoor soccer, cricket and jogging and he really wants to learn how to play the African drum. His hidden talents include opera singing, dancing and sketching.

Poolie says not a lot makes him unhappy, "but seeing domestic violence is right up there and poor service delivery at top retail outlets."

What makes him happy? "Helping out street kids, helping my mum with her monthly bills, good food and company." Poolie, who has a sister and brother, picks his grandmother as his role model. "She taught me how to pray, taught me how to respect myself and others."

The best advice he ever got was from his uncle who said, "What you think of yourself has a major impact on what you do with your life."

Having lived in England for three years, Poolie says, "participating in Big Brother will open up doors for me onto TV adverts and soapies. I also want to be on Big Brother Mzansi to win that money and buy my mom a house".

His mantra for the show is, "Get that Moola!"

He's expecting "to see a bunch of crazy people with different personalities and sexy ladies" in the house and he wants the audience to know that, "I am not fake. This is who I am. An Entertainer!"

He says his family and friends will be supportive when they discover he's on Big Brother Mzansi. "There will definitely be big parties!"
