PICTURE: X/ BUHLE B AND TUMI THE BARBER
Social media erupted in a frenzy after what seemed like a sexual encounter in the bathrooms between Tumi Mohwaduba, best known as Tumi the Barber and Buhle Makhanya, well-known as Buhle B.
The cameras in the Big Brother house shifted to the bathrooms when internet users suspected that the two are being intimate. Even though the camera only showed closed doors, the viewers could make out what was being said inside.
An internet user shared a video clip captured from their television set on X (formerly Twitter), quoting the post with the dialogue between Tumi and Buhle. Tumi was reportedly heard saying Buhle must get down, then Buhle asked “right now? Right now is crazy”. Tumi then said “I know, It has to be crazy”.
Tumi: “Get down”
Buhle: “Right now? Right now is crazy though”
Tumi: “I know, it has to be crazy”Tems said Crazy things are happening #BBMzmansi #BbMzansiBazozwa #BBmzansiseason6 #Bazozwa#BBMzansi

Entertainment commentator Phil Mphela also weighed in, citing that Tumi might be using Buhle B for relevance since he is nominated. He also mentioned that it was a careless move on Buhle’s side, because she will now be known as the girl who had sex in the bathrooms on TV.
Maybe sexist but haai… I’m judging Buhle.
What a stupid move so early in the game.
Now she will forever be known as the girl who had sex in the bathroom on TV. Week 2 when you don’t even know if this thing will last or not.
Any you way you play this… Tumi used her for…

And that’s the thing for me.
What transpired today was not Buhle’s game but her falling into a Tumi trap and game play.
Not a smart move at all.
This was not a woman owning her feminine power. She fell into Tumi’s ploy. #BBMzansi #BBMzansiSeason6 https://t.co/MN63ci5f5z
