Zimbabwe: What Chances Does Bertha Have?
IF intelligence and upholding African values makes one eligible for the US$100 000 Big Brother prize money, then Bertha Zakeyo, who is representing Zimbabwe, is in the running for the money.
But if stupidity and buffoonery count, then Bertha, who has won herself the title Queen of Gossip in the House, might as well forget about the windfall.
However, it seems difficult to define and describe a Big Brother winner whether it's in Africa, Britain, Australia or the United States.
Otherwise, how can one explain why Zambian contestant
Cherise won Big Brother Africa in 2003 and Zimbabwean Tapuwa Mhere, who hogged the limelight for drinking too much and had a "steamy brush" with Tanzanian contestant Mwisho Mwampamba, came third and him second?
Otherwise, how can one explain why
Makosi Musambasi, who took part in the Big Brother UK6 in 2005, emerged third after all the controversies she caused both in the House and worldwide?
She walked around naked, said she had a lesbian romp with a girl aged 12, flirted with a fellow housemate and had a drunken late-night romp in the swimming pool with
Anthony Hutton, who went on to win the BBUK6 in 1995.
So what chances does Bertha have?
