Bio
Max Chongu is a Zambian call centre operator who is currently a contestant on the second season of the reality competition Big Brother Africa, in 2007.
He was born in Lusaka.
Max feels strongly about social causes. He says that when relaxing he spends most of his time helping the poor.
If he’s given the opportunity to spend the day with someone famous, he’d choose Nelson Mandela because "he’s got a heart for the poor." And if he could visit any one place in the world, he’d go to Martin Luther King Square.
Asked what he’d like to be given should he win a task in the Big Brother house, his list of possible rewards includes a trip to Robben Island.
Over and above his social conscience, Maxwell has a sense of humour, even about his most embarrassing moment ever. "I was busy boasting about how much I loved my girlfriend only to discover she had already dumped me!"
Maxwell loves music by Malaika, Mandoza, Bricks, Nathan Nyirenda, K’millian, Koffi Olomide, 2Face, P-Square and the Sakala Brothers.
