    <br />
    A stunned Lerato asked Yacob if he actually loved those particular boxers that much for   him to keep them for that long, which he decided to ignore.<br />
    <br />
    Instead he went on to tell them about his girlfriend after Paloma asked if they would meet her at the finale. He said she was a housewife   and only spoke his native language so there was no way she could be at   the finale, which surprised the girls.<br />
    <br />
    Lerato was quick to tell   him that he better get out of her bed because she was not the kind of   girl that shared beds with guys that were in a relationship but Yacob   just slept on and even earned himself a cheek rub from Lerato while Meryl and Paloma looked on.<br />
    In a moment, Lerato chucked Yacob out of her bed telling Paloma that he had silly tendencies.<br />

    <br />
  <strong>Lerato gives excuses</strong></p>
  <p>
    However,   there was no beating Paloma&rsquo;s energy and excitement as she and Meryl   started pulling the other Housemates to the pool, which later forced   them all besides Lerato to warm up in the Jacuzzi. Lerato gave a hundred and one excuses about how she could not get into the water while Sammi was already in bed, so there really was no touching him.<br />
    <br />
    <strong>Yacob easy-target</strong></p>
  <p><strong><br />
    </strong>Yacob was probably the easiest target for Paloma as she fetched him from the   kitchen and almost single-handedly wrestled him into the pool. Even   Tatiana who was already all dressed up for the evening was forced into   the pool and later found herself cozy in the Jacuzzi as well. </p>
  <strong>Great fun after all</strong><br />
  <br />
  Once   they were all in the Jacuzzi, they seemed to be having a great time so   it seemed as though the tussle and wrestle to get them in was all worth   it after all.<br />

    <br />
    Following   Tatiana&rsquo;s umpiring, the two went for the second round and there was no   clear winner on that one because according to Tatiana, Hannington was   not playing fair as he was dragging her on the ground instead of   wrestling her.<br />

    <br />
    The two curled up on the couch in the lounge keeping a distance from the rest of their Housemates.<br />
  With Tatiana&rsquo;s hands occasionally stroking the Head of House's leg, the touchy-feely Angolan stroked Hannington&rsquo;s ego until he was numb and ready for anything.</p>
  <p>
    <strong>&quot;I can't stay single&quot;</strong><br />
    <br />
    Eyes-locked   with Tatiana's, he could not stop smiling as the Angolan model went on   and on about how she just dies for men like him; who respect women   prompting Hannington to ask if she was in a relationship at all. Tatiana   undoubtedly responded in the affirmative saying she had a problem, she   could not stay single.<br />
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s very hard for me, I&rsquo;m too soft and I love love and special things so I fall quickly.&rdquo;<br />
  <br />
  <strong>&quot;Sometimes it vibrates&quot;</strong><br />
  <br />
  This   statement was enough to drive the Ugandan dude to tell her how he   commands his &lsquo;stuff&rsquo; saying &ldquo;sometimes it vibrates.&rdquo; Earlier today, Hannington had told Sheila that she did not think Tatiana was hot at all in African terms.<br />
  <br />
  However, Hannington and Sheila have been on and off but he had made it clear to Biggie that he had feelings for her even going to the extent of giving her a promise ring.<br />
  <br />
  Meanwhile, Tatiana has been flirting with any and everyone with Munya being top of her list but during the Arena Games, she had a go at the Mad Hatter as well.<br />
  <br />
  After such a steamy private conversation between her and Hannington, it was difficult to understand how she could nominate him and say all those nasty things about him to Biggie.<br />

The Mad Hatter threw knives at him and luckily for the Ugandan   Housemate, he missed at all attempts.<br />
    <br />
    Meanwhile, his fellow   Housemates could not believe the bravery and kept begging him to step   down. But, after six throws, Hannington was still up on the Knife Rig   stab-free.<br />
    <br />
    The Head of House was challenged and he faced it with courage. Hannington had told Biggie   earlier in the week during one of his Diary sessions that he was not   challenged by any of the Horror Island Tasks that had left his Housemates feeling gross and disgusted.<br />
    <br />
  The Arena Games also involved the Champagne maze where the Housemates had to push the   champagne glass through a maze with their toes. They also had to   retrieve their prize from the bottom of a barrel of slime.</p>

    Lerato said at some point Jen went to the bathroom and found her toothbrush wet as though it had been   used. Lerato said she hated this habit because some Housemates had no   manners and perhaps they were not aware that each person is supposed to   use their own toothbrushes.<br />
    <br />
    Meryl added that she had stopped   leaving her stuff in the bathroom because she does not trust her   Housemates saying she only leaves her wet underwear. The commission of   inquiry into who uses other people&rsquo;s toothbrushes is out. The girls were   fed up.<br />

<br />
On entering their Mandala Flat, the feeling of a newborn are clear: clean nappies and other clothes to keep the baby warm are neatly piled on a table. As we make our entrance, the baby’s grandmother sprawls on a basket chair. She says hello as we enter, and apparently she knows the purpose of our visit, and she can’t hide the smile on her face when she says: “I am happy to be a grandmother.”<br />
<br />
–Article by Jack McBrams–<br />
<br />
Happy she was. But, if you could measure joy, her son-in-law Malawi representative at the Big Brother House Africa Code Sangala, smiling all the while, is over the moon with the birth of his first-born daughter with Juna.<br />
<br />
Born at Mwaiwathu’s Mphatso Ward in the afternoon of March 12 and christened Jada Cathrina Sangala, the newly-born is, for Code, the greatest gift he ever got.<br />
<br />
“It feels great. I don’t remember ever feeling so great. We have a new circle, a great inspiration for me. This is another level for me since Jada’s birth calls me to be more responsible as a father,” says Code, clad in a Khalidwe wear outfit labelled Code at the back, a pair of jeans and seems relaxed with his barefeet.<br />
<br />
It is an open secret among Malawians and other African cultures that men expect their first born to be a son.<br />
<br />
What was on Code’s mind?<br />
“As a man, you think of a son as the first born. Being Malawian I had the same thoughts, but all that changed when I looked into the eyes of my baby girl for the first time. I saw in her eyes an inner glow and, instantly, we felt spiritually connected. The fact that she is a girl is even more precious,” said Code.<br />
<br />
Code, spent 77 days as a BBA housemate to walk into the Malawi and African fame hallway, has since talked on the phone with fellow housemates Richard of Tanzania and Ofunneka of Nigeria. He has also had an e-mail from Bertha of Zimbabwe. All of them, he said, were excited with Code’s becoming a father.<br />
<br />
What about Maureen?<br />
“Not yet. Eventually, I will have to get in touch with each of the housemates, including Maureen. This is the genesis of the next level. Life was good, but now it’s better,” says Code.<br />
<br />
Talking about his mother’s reaction, Code laughed heartily, before saying: “She was very happy. In fact she noted Jada has the Sangala nose signature.”<br />
<br />
Reclined on a basket chair, Juna says she is looking at being a mother on a day-to-day basis.<br />
“The first hours were unreal, I had to adjust a lot, the concept of being a mum was always running in my head. By and by, she turns out to be a sleepy girl, which is very good,” says the 24 year-old.<br />
She denies that Jada is bridging two cultures: with Code, a Malawian on the one hand, and herself a Dutch on the other: “No! It’s not a bridge, we are already tight. It’s just the same as a Malawian from the North would marry another Malawian from the South: there may be some cultural differences, but the bond is there. We look forward to giving Jada the best of education and we would love her to grow into an open-minded person, with respect for the cultures of the world. We want to see her eat nsima in the remotest village of Malawi one day, and eating in an expensive hotel in America or Europe the next day.”<br />
<br />
Code agreed: “She would have to appreciate the best of the two worlds.”<br />
<br />
For Juna’s mother Cathrina, after whom Code gave Jada the middle name, the baby is a blessing. Being a girl, she is another jewel in the crown of her belief for girl power.<br />
“All of my six children are girls. In our lineage, Jada completes five generations of women, since both my grandmother and mother are still alive. She is my first grandchild and I hope she grows into a multi-cultural world,” said Cathrina, who urged all people to support boys and girls equally.]]></description>

<br />
About a year ago, a young woman, after completing her university degree and doing the normal student things, was offered a job as PA to a professor at a clinic in Lagos, Nigeria.<br />
Ofunneka Molokwu did the normal 9-to-5 thing most of us do. Get up in the morning, shower, get dressed, go to work, then back home, sleep and, at the end of the month, receive a salary big enough to pay for her immediate needs. Not enough to be called rich or particularly well off, but she was happy and content and her boss was extremely impressed with her. Tasks given to her were always handed in on time even if this meant that she had to take work home. She did it with a smile and after a short period of time she was nominated as the Employee of the Month.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://bbafrica2.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/n504793573_644065_5709.jpg?w=280&amp;h=372" border="0" alt="[Image: n504793573_644065_5709.jpg?w=280&amp;amp;h=372&#93;" /></div>
<br />
Then one day, Ofunneka took stock of her life and realized that she wanted more, she wanted to spread her wings and fly. However, if opportunities wouldn’t come knocking on her door, she realised that she would have to take charge of the knocking herself! She saw the advertisement for the BBAII reality show and without hesitation forwarded her application to the interview panel.On 7 August 2007, Ofunneka Molokwu walked into our lives, when, as the Nigerian representative, she joined 11 other housemates from all over Africa in the famous Big Brother house in Jozi, South Africa.<br />
For a period of three months, Ofu, or Foxy as Tatiana renamed her, rocked the house. She was never afraid; she did her “do’s” her way. How many times did we watch Ofunneka shower in the wee hours of the morning when all the other housemates were asleep? She loved the discussions, she loved reading and she loved to dance. Although she was quiet and withdrawn at first, she quickly established her position in the house and we all started to take notice of her.<br />
On 13 November 2007, Ofunneka walked out of the house – looking stunning and sexy – dressed in a purple outfit that fitted her body like a glove. In a nail-biting finale, she became the first runner-up of one of the best Big Brother shows ever screened on international television.<br />
And when the hype and the interviews and all that were over and Ofunneka returned home, what happened then? I asked her to give me a description of a typical day in the life of the BBAII runner-up.<br />
<br />
Interview dated: 21st March 2008<br />
<br />
This is what she had to say:<br />
<br />
My life changed completely and my previous job took on a new turn, where I have become more of a consultant than a permanent staff, as was the case before BBA2. I paid a visit to my boss and the other peeps in the office, and there was a media frenzy there, more interviews and questions to be answered. They all wished me well in my new endeavors.<br />
<br />
My mobile phone and my computer became my office and my manager. I received many invitations and contracts and dealt with them according to my schedule and my interest in the proposal. Soon my diary and appointments filled up and I realized how blessed I am.<br />
<br />
I will consult my diary and plan my wardrobe before I go to bed. Depending on what I have planned for the day, I could wake up at 6.30am, 7am, the latest at 8am every morning. Then I will follow a strict exercise routine of aerobics for about half an hour to get me started for the day. This is very important to me, as I feel that the exercise is good for my mind, body and soul. I hardly ever take a headache pill and I am convinced that it is because of the early morning exercises I do. I love doing aerobics to my favourite music or will use one of the many aerobic video tapes I have. Unfortunately I am not big on breakfast and will normally be happy with a cup of coffee. Over a weekend, when I am more relaxed, I will go for a glass of milk and dry biscuits or a sandwich if I have nice goodies to garnish the sarmie.<br />
<br />
Because I have already chosen my outfit the previous night, I am able to get dressed in a record time. Because of my new assignments and the fact I am recognized everywhere I go, I asked a stylist to assist me with a new wardrobe, colour coordination – nothing fancy, more funky, modern, true Foxy style. I am not big into wearing make-up regularly and would seriously prefer the natural way of going about, but once again, on strict orders from my stylist, I alternate. I prefer a more softer look and will never overdo on my make-up. I visit a hair salon for a regular cut and treatment, but for the rest of the time, I handle my own hair – washing, blow drying and the normal girly stuff. I am fussy on the shampoo and conditioner that I use for my hair and will not go for the nearest bottle at the convenient store around the corner. I changed my hair colour recently and received a few compliments on the colour.<br />
<br />
I am very close to my family. Although I share an apartment with a very good friend of mine, I will think nothing of visiting my parents three or four times a week. Therefore you can rightfully say I pedal between their house and my apartment on a regular basis. I do have a drivers’ license but since I have discovered the luxury of a cab, where I can talk to my promoter on the mobile or do some work on my laptop, I found life is so much easier. Call me lazy girl, but it is really not my scene to fight other drivers in overcrowded streets on my way to an appointment.<br />
<br />
After a hard day of meetings, interviews and photo shoots, I love nothing more to hang out with my friends. Those are the peeps who I knew before the BBAII show and they are true friends. They will protect me and allow me to be myself, without any fear that they will expose me to the paparazzi.<br />
<br />
My tastes in music is very wide, as you will remember from the house – it varies from rock, hip-hop, heavy metal, garage, house R&amp;B and instrumentals (yanni /enya). Although I adore reading, it is pity that I haven’t really had much time to do so. Weekends most times creep on while trying to make the most of weekdays. I don’t mind visiting clubs over weekends, depends on whose there. I am recognized by many when I go out, but I hardly go out alone. I am always with family or friends and I’m lucky that thus I haven’t needed a bodyguard.<br />
<br />
I love to cook, anything with seafood and when I have the time, I will gladly spend some time in the kitchen otherwise I order take-aways. I am, however, careful with what I eat and a follow a special eating plan that suits my body and activities.<br />
<br />
I have completed a movie called ‘WHO’ recently. The movie is directed by Lancelot Imaseun and produced by Simony Productions. Everything else you’ll know when it is released. It featured major Nigerian movie stars (6 of them) and of course me, Ofunneka. I love my new life. It really is a dream come true.]]></description>

For a period of three months, Ofu, or Foxy as Tatiana renamed her, rocked the house. She was never afraid; she did her “do’s” her way. How many times did we watch Ofunneka shower in the wee hours of the morning when all the other housemates were asleep? She loved the discussions, she loved reading and she loved to dance. Although she was quiet and withdrawn at first, she quickly established her position in the house and we all started to take notice of her.<br />
On 13 November 2007, Ofunneka walked out of the house – looking stunning and sexy – dressed in a purple outfit that fitted her body like a glove. In a nail-biting finale, she became the first runner-up of one of the best Big Brother shows ever screened on international television.<br />
And when the hype and the interviews and all that were over and Ofunneka returned home, what happened then? I asked her to give me a description of a typical day in the life of the BBAII runner-up.<br />
<br />
Interview dated: 21st March 2008<br />
<br />
This is what she had to say:<br />
<br />
My life changed completely and my previous job took on a new turn, where I have become more of a consultant than a permanent staff, as was the case before BBA2. I paid a visit to my boss and the other peeps in the office, and there was a media frenzy there, more interviews and questions to be answered. They all wished me well in my new endeavors.<br />
<br />
My mobile phone and my computer became my office and my manager. I received many invitations and contracts and dealt with them according to my schedule and my interest in the proposal. Soon my diary and appointments filled up and I realized how blessed I am.<br />
<br />
I will consult my diary and plan my wardrobe before I go to bed. Depending on what I have planned for the day, I could wake up at 6.30am, 7am, the latest at 8am every morning. Then I will follow a strict exercise routine of aerobics for about half an hour to get me started for the day. This is very important to me, as I feel that the exercise is good for my mind, body and soul. I hardly ever take a headache pill and I am convinced that it is because of the early morning exercises I do. I love doing aerobics to my favourite music or will use one of the many aerobic video tapes I have. Unfortunately I am not big on breakfast and will normally be happy with a cup of coffee. Over a weekend, when I am more relaxed, I will go for a glass of milk and dry biscuits or a sandwich if I have nice goodies to garnish the sarmie.<br />
<br />
Because I have already chosen my outfit the previous night, I am able to get dressed in a record time. Because of my new assignments and the fact I am recognized everywhere I go, I asked a stylist to assist me with a new wardrobe, colour coordination – nothing fancy, more funky, modern, true Foxy style. I am not big into wearing make-up regularly and would seriously prefer the natural way of going about, but once again, on strict orders from my stylist, I alternate. I prefer a more softer look and will never overdo on my make-up. I visit a hair salon for a regular cut and treatment, but for the rest of the time, I handle my own hair – washing, blow drying and the normal girly stuff. I am fussy on the shampoo and conditioner that I use for my hair and will not go for the nearest bottle at the convenient store around the corner. I changed my hair colour recently and received a few compliments on the colour.<br />
<br />
I am very close to my family. Although I share an apartment with a very good friend of mine, I will think nothing of visiting my parents three or four times a week. Therefore you can rightfully say I pedal between their house and my apartment on a regular basis. I do have a drivers’ license but since I have discovered the luxury of a cab, where I can talk to my promoter on the mobile or do some work on my laptop, I found life is so much easier. Call me lazy girl, but it is really not my scene to fight other drivers in overcrowded streets on my way to an appointment.<br />
<br />
After a hard day of meetings, interviews and photo shoots, I love nothing more to hang out with my friends. Those are the peeps who I knew before the BBAII show and they are true friends. They will protect me and allow me to be myself, without any fear that they will expose me to the paparazzi.<br />
<br />
My tastes in music is very wide, as you will remember from the house – it varies from rock, hip-hop, heavy metal, garage, house R&amp;B and instrumentals (yanni /enya). Although I adore reading, it is pity that I haven’t really had much time to do so. Weekends most times creep on while trying to make the most of weekdays. I don’t mind visiting clubs over weekends, depends on whose there. I am recognized by many when I go out, but I hardly go out alone. I am always with family or friends and I’m lucky that thus I haven’t needed a bodyguard.<br />
<br />
I love to cook, anything with seafood and when I have the time, I will gladly spend some time in the kitchen otherwise I order take-aways. I am, however, careful with what I eat and a follow a special eating plan that suits my body and activities.<br />
<br />
I have completed a movie called ‘WHO’ recently. The movie is directed by Lancelot Imaseun and produced by Simony Productions. Everything else you’ll know when it is released. It featured major Nigerian movie stars (6 of them) and of course me, Ofunneka. I love my new life. It really is a dream come true.]]></content:encoded>

  <p><img src="http://bigbrotherafrica.dstv.com/Contentimages/BBA4/Article/30-Jul_Arena_BIG.jpg" width="300" height="244" style="float: left; padding: 5px;">Friday afternoon is arena games time and the Housemates were in form and ready to face their challenge, the Unfair Funfair.</p>
  <p>
    <strong>Sheila and Uti nail it</strong><br />
    <br />
    Starting   with the Coconut Shy game, they were expected to bang the hanging   coconuts off and Sheila and Uti were victorious on this one and won   themselves some cuddly toys.<br />
    <br />
    Then came the Spinning chair,   Housemates had to sit on a spinning chair to make them dizzy then walk   on a wobbly beam to win their prize.<br />
    <br />
    <strong>&quot;Do it for 'Monkey'&quot;</strong><br />
    <br />
    This   one proved rather tricky for the Housemates but Head of House,   Hannington, Meryl, Mwisho, Yacob and Tatiana nailed it and all got their   cuddly toys. Meryl was tactical, walking side-ways and with her   Housemates cheering her on and telling her to do if for 'Monkey', she   conquered it and got 'Monkey' a cuddly friend.<br />
    <br />
    The Mad Hatter announced to them that this was just the beginning of their Fun Fair and there was still much more to come.</p>

    The two, who have over the past two weeks been cosying up to each other, giving sensual massages, do not seem to be gelling as well according to Munya.<br />

    <br />
  When quizzed as to why he thinks Tatiana is behaving   this way, Munya said if Tatiana Nominated him for Eviction then it would   probably be the guilt eating at her.</p>
