Uyanda is back on top as HoH, but will his reign last?

Recent developments

Sipha Lee reigns as the official second Head of House, snatching the crown from Uyanda who seems to lure the win to the shore but can't seem to land the catch.

The four challengers were Jojo, Mshini, Sipha Lee, and Swiss who battled the game but after an intense battle, it was Uyanda and Sipha Lee who fought their way into the final round. Uyanda and Sipha Lee went head-to-head in an epic showdown, but it was Sipha Lee who walked away with the crown.

 

The Umlilo season in the Big Brother Mzansi house is heating up, and Uyanda is making the most of his second chance at HoH. After losing out to Sweet Guluva last week, Uyanda came into the HoH games with something to prove – and prove it, he did. The balance-and-speed challenges were no match for his determination, and now the house has a new leader. 

This win isn’t just about reclaiming the HoH badge. It’s Uyanda’s chance to show that he can bring order and direction to the house. Choosing fellow teacher Abobo as his guest adds an extra layer of intrigue. Could this week feel like a staffroom meeting? Principal and deputy vibes, perhaps? 👨‍🏫

Watch his HoH win here: 

Sweet Guluva’s leadership

Last week’s HoH reign under Sweet Guluva was anything but smooth sailing. While some housemates praised his level-headedness, others, like Bonni Bee, felt his approach was lacking. Her frustration over unresolved issues, especially around food, boiled over after Sweet Guluva called a house meeting that didn’t address her concerns but Ash-Ley Ogle's. Leadership in the Umlilo season is proving to be a fiery challenge, and Sweet Guluva’s week was a mix of chaos and fun. 😃

Will Uyanda keep His crown?

While Uyanda and Abobo settle into their roles, Big Brother is about to throw a twist into the mix. Four housemates will soon have the chance to dethrone Uyanda in an HoH challenger game. If they succeed, they’ll snatch the badge and all its privileges. Ouch. 😮

For now, Uyanda’s teacher instincts might come in handy. Managing a group of fiery personalities isn’t easy, but patience and structure are his strong suits. With Abobo by his side, this could be a week of order – or an absolute classroom riot.

In the season of Umlilo, the flames are unpredictable, and Uyanda’s reign could be extinguished as quickly as it started. Will he and Abobo stay in control, or will the challengers bring the heat? Keep watching to find out.
