Ash-ley Ogle and Bonni Bee faced consequences for breaking house rules, each receiving a strike. Their responses to the disciplinary action, however, differed significantly.


The ladies had their own women's conference where Ash-ley Ogle immediately apologised to Mshini and Kay B, where she ended the note that they should be like sisters. However, her words did not seem genuine. She blamed her actions to her character, failing to take full accountability for her mistakes. Mshini and Kay B received the apology with scepticism, viewing it as insincere. Towards the end of the night, Mshini gave Ash-ley Ogle an "apology accepted' hug and everything was rosey again.

The men also had their usual conference. In a pact of solidarity , they vowed not to let the ladies' conflicts affect them. The promised to stand by each other in alliance. They assured Sweet Guluva that the actions of Ash-ley Ogle will not impact him.

In contrast, Bonni Bee took a more measured approach. She chose to wait until the house was calmer before apologising, fearing that an immediate apology might be perceived as opportunistic. She wanted her apology to be genuine and not done while everyone was still heated.


The housemates had mixed reactions to the strikes. Tyrone expressed outrage, stating that no amount of buttons could make up for the harm their words and actions caused. Melino, on the other hand, saw the incident as a valuable lesson in behavioral awareness.

The housemates have been showing sympathy and support for Kay B, who was affected by the incident. Siphesihle offered to help with dishes, allowing Kay B to rest and recover from being the centre of attention this evening.


The housemates wrapped up the night in a jovial mood, singing throwback RnB songs. Despite the tensions and conflicts, what transpired served as a reminder of the importance of empathy amongst the housemates, accountability, and genuine communication.
