Season 6 of Big Brother Mzansi (Bazozwa) opened with a redemption vote that brought returning housemates back into the game, followed by fake nominations in Week 1 and the first public votes that quickly reshaped the hustle. As the season unfolded, twists like the Untouchables Pick, the Nomination Wheel, and evolving Head of House powers played a key role in shaping the game.
In the penultimate week, Golden Tickets secured Thandeka and Trixie direct spots in the finale. Head of House Ashay also spun the Wheel of Fate, which landed on Liema's name and secured her Immunity, before the vote was left entirely to the public.
Below is the round-by-round breakdown of the % share of valid votes.
