Dube has been crowned the second Head of House (HoH) in the Bazozwa house. The HoH showdown came down to a nail-biting face-off between Dube and Mashel, with both contestants giving it their all. Dube, however, emerged victorious in a musical round.

The road to victory was filled with a series of intense challenges that tested the housemates’ agility, strategy, and knowledge. The games kicked off with musical chairs, a test of speed and focus, followed by a thrilling ball-toss challenge, where precision and timing were key. The final round pushed their minds further, as housemates competed in a quiz on popular South African music, showcasing not only their physical skill but also their cultural knowledge.

Dube’s victory secures him the power to influence nominations, guide alliances, and shape the game for the week ahead, leaving the house buzzing with speculation about his first move as HoH. 

Adding to the drama, the season's first list of nominations was announced. Tumi the Barber, Neliswa, Lawredo, Que, The Don, and Ofentse are all at risk this week, meaning every decision, alliance, and strategy could tip the scales.

With the HoH celebrations behind them and eviction week looming, the Bazozwa house is set for a week full of drama, strategy, and unexpected twists. Fans won’t want to miss a single moment!
