Liema, Thandeka and Trixie Secure Berths in Big Brother Mzansi Finale
The Big Brother Mzansi house was a mixture of tension and excitement as the race to the finale reached a critical stage.
After a gruelling endurance challenge in freezing ice-cold water, Thandeka and Trixie proved their resilience, emerging as the last two standing. Their impressive performance has earned them the golden ticket to the finale, securing their spots in the final stretch of the competition.
The challenge tested both physical and mental strength, as housemates had to remain in the ice water for as long as possible. While others dropped out one by one, Thandeka and Trixie’s determination saw them push through to claim victory and cement their place among the finalists.
Meanwhile, Ashay continued his winning streak, claiming the Head of House title for the third consecutive time. Although this week’s HoH did not come with immunity, he earned the opportunity to bring a guest to the HoH loft and chose Didi.
It was then time for nominations, and each of them carefully selected their targets:
- Mmeli nominates Liema and Didi for strategic reasons, believing they hold the most influence in the game.
- Ashay nominates Que, claiming he is the strongest player so far, and Mmeli, whom he considers as the smartest competitor.
- Thandeka nominates Liema, calling her petty and unable to grow, and Didi, for always rallying behind the clique.
- Liema nominates Bravo B as competition and Mmeli as the bigger threat.
- Bravo B nominates Mmeli and Liema, noting their position as strong competitors.
- Didi nominates Mmeli for his strategic mind and Que, who always makes it through nominations.
- Trixie nominates Mmeli, for not being part of her alliance, and Ashay, saying everyone should stand.
- Que nominates Ashay, because of his popularity, and Bravo B.

Biggie then introduced a twist. After the nominations, HoH Ashay spun the Redemption Wheel, which would save one housemate from eviction and automatically grant them a spot in the finale. When the wheel stopped, it landed on Liema, giving her a spot in the finale.
