Thandeka on Liema’s ‘Big Brother Mzansi’ win

 Big Brother Mzansi: Bazozwa runner-up Thandeka Tshabalala claims that the show was rigged after Lieyma Pantsi beat her to winning season six of the reality series.

THANDEKA CLAIMS IT WAS ‘RIGGED FROM INSIDE’

Thandeka Tshabalala came in second place on Big Brother Mzansi: Bazozwa and Lieyma Pantsi took home the R2 million. Now, Thandeka sat down with MacG and Sol Phenduka on the infamous Podcast and Chill to talk about her thoughts and feelings. She claimed that some scenes were cut and she was painted as the villain.

“It’s the truth. To come out and find out that some of the things were cut, and I was made to be the villain, and then uLiema is obviously, like dainty, dainty,” she said.

Thandeka went on to claim that the show was rigged from the inside.

“But it’s fine. But it was rigged from the inside, the punishments they handed down. Come on now, everybody is serving a punishment, but I’m the one who’s wearing amaunicorns, etcetera. You’re obviously making me a target in the house, but I don’t know, maybe for shock value,” she continued.

MACG: ‘WE DO NOT RECOGNISE HER’

The podcaster, MacG agreed with Thandeka saying it was clear to him that production was favouring Liema. He then went on to “denounce” Lieyma, saying that they do not recognise her. She continues to call herself “Bazozwa Queen”.

“Public service announcement. As the spokesperson of the chillers nation, we would like to denounce the current win of ‘Big Brother’. We do not recognise her,” he said.

“As a matter of fact, production, wherever you are, report yourself to the nearest police station for crime against humanity. What was done on Sunday should never happen on our watch,” he continued.

MacG is not just a spectator of the show. His alcoholic beverage, Chillers Punch, was one of the sponsors this season.

Lieyma also took to Instagram to share her excitement after winning.

“A movement a nation wide victory for all of us straight From the house… to the streets. 🌸🌸🌸🌸
This is what love, unity, and belief look like. Liema did it. WE did it.thank you LLF family and everyone for showing up & celebrating Liema Pantsi what a journey it was 🔥🔥🎥 @bigbromzansi,” read the post.
