In the weeks leading up to the finale, fans of Sweet Guluva and Uyanda campaigned fiercely, with some even requesting phone numbers from others to help them cast votes.
However, not all viewers were pleased with the outcome. Some accused the show of bias, claiming the results were unfair and even calling for Big Brother Mzansi to be discontinued.
Big Brother Mzansi hang the cape. There’s absolutely no need for another season. No gamer is winning this show ever again, only ships.
Leave the BB and bring Love Island or a ship show. There’s no reviving the show. #BBMzansiumililo #BBMzansi
