SHOWBIZPLUSng presents you the new hottie Hotshots Housemates recently unveiled by Big Brother Africa, ahead of its season nine global launch in South Africa, this Sunday, October 5. Check them out below in pictures and profiles.
Malawi
Sipe
Age: 24
Hairdresser Sipe is from
Lilongwe and has an MSCE and ICM Hotel and Catering Management qualification. Her
favourite foods are nshima with chicken and okra, pizza, Thai food and ‘a bit
of Indian cuisine’. Her favourite TV shows include Keeping Up With The
Kardashians, Say Yes To The Dress, How Do I Look?, Jerseylicious and Idols. Her
favourite musicians are Beyonce, Brandy, Sam Smith and Zahara and her favourite
actors are Idris Elba and Angelina Jolie.
Sipe’s favourite place in her
country is Lake Malawi, because it relaxes her. Her favourite place outside of
Malawi is Paris. ‘It’s the most beautiful place in the world and I always imagine
spending time on my honeymoon there,’ she says. ‘It’s the City of Love!’. She
says the best things about Africa are the people, the landscape and the food.
She lists Beyonce as her role
model because ‘she’s hardworking and she makes it look so easy. I’d love to be
like her’. Sipe’s Mom played a huge role in her life too. ‘She raised three
children on her own and it hasn’t been easy for her, but she managed to see us
through school. She’s a very strong woman,’ she says.
Mozambique
Trezagah
Age: 31
Hip hop singer Trezagah
studied Civil Engineering. He doesn’t have a favourite food, because he says he
loves eating and ‘I eat everything! The classic Hardy Boys books are his
favourite, while he enjoys the Discovery and National Geographic channels on TV
because he likes to ‘watch crocodiles and sharks attacking’.
Trezagah was inspired to enter
Big Brother Hotshots by watching previous seasons. He is both happy and nervous
at the thought of having the continent’s eyes on him.He says the best thing about
Africa is ‘the culture each country preserves’ and says his favourite place in
Mozambique is Yofo Beach. He likes the Caribbean Islands because he’s a great
fan of nature.
His role model is Jay-Z,
‘because he knows how to dress, how to be on stage, how to behave and has good
business control’. His parents have played an incredibly influential role in
his life because they always showed him what was right and what was wrong.
He describes himself as
‘happy, active, wise, serious and calm’ and says the best thing about himself
is the way he treats people indiscriminately, saying he can ‘be a friend of a
poor person or even a person that sleeps on the street’.
Nigeria
Tayo
Age: 28
A 1.93m-tall model with a
Higher National Diploma in Maritime Studies, Tayo, from Nigeria, certainly
stands out in a crowd. He lists his favourite foods as Eba an Okra Soup mixed
with fish stew, his favourite musicians as 2Face Idibia, Beautiful Nubia and D’Banj.
Tayo says his favourite place
in Nigeria is Oyo Town, his place of birth. ‘That’s my home, where I started
life. It reminds me of who I am now and how far I’ve come in life,’ he says. He
says the best thing about Africa is ‘culture and pride’ and that his favourite
place outside of Nigeria is South Africa, which he calls his ‘home away from
home’.
He entered Big Brother Hotshots because he believed
in himself, and was also encouraged to enter by others. ‘I like to be seen and
to be heard,’ he says. Tayo says he’s not willing to change who he is or
disgrace his family and friends to impress viewers or his fellow Housemates. If
Tayo wins the grand prize, he says he’ll, set up his life and give himself a
life of luxury.
