Sweet Guluva 

If he’s not winning awards, acting on Black Gold, making music or working with legacy brands, he’s representing the biggest television channel in South Africa: Mzansi Magic. The Umlilo winner continues to fly the Big Brother Mzansi flag high with his work ethic, authenticity, and love for people. He has set the bar high for the next cohort of housemates, showing them what is possible and why winning the show matters. Follow his exciting journey on Facebook, X, Instagram, and TikTok – his team is always ready to serve you with premium content.

Uyanda 

Ladies and gentlemen, allow us to introduce Badger Boi: the newest amapiano DJ and a proud Mzansi Magic Brand ambassador. Not only did Uyanda have the honour of switching off Biggie’s house lights, but he also secured a once-in-a-lifetime brand deal shortly after stepping out with Chillas Punch. The Pedagogical Practitioner is making his mark as the best dressed wherever he steps his foot, and leaving that mark on a few necks too. He is serving up fashion icon energy on all his platforms, so make sure to stay up-to-date on Facebook, X, Instagram, and TikTok. 

 

Nsuku 

She entered the house as Nsuku Solid Gold, and she emerged as Nsuku Deep. Not only did she discover her lane in deep house music and launch her DJ career, but she also found her voice and even auditioned for Miss SA 2025. Biggie’s last woman standing continues to build her modelling career and stands proudly as a face of confidence. Nusku is live and active on her social media platforms, and you can show her love on Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. 

Nate 

What Ntate Nate will always do is lay a lace, beat her face, drive a big car, and remind you exactly why Mzansi Magic is the channel to watch. She has officially opened three orthotics and prosthetics practices and purchased her own apartment. When she’s not doing that, she’s building Nate Artistry brick by brick and is now close to achieving the dream she spoke about in the house: opening her own salon. Luminators are proud! Stay plugged into her journey on Facebook, X, Instagram, and TikTok.

Jojo

Jojo had just one dream: to make music – and that dream came true when she released NtliziyoYam. But she soon realised the sky is the limit. She is now a speaker, making appearances at events and igniting excitement in young people wherever she goes. The recent graduate and Mzansi Magic brand ambassador is now an official Joburger, chasing every dream in the City of Gold. To keep up with her growing music career, follow Jojo on Facebook, X, Instagram, and TikTok.

All the drama will be broadcast on Mzansi Magic (DStv channel 161) and 24/7 on DStv channel 198. Join the conversation on social media using #BBMzansiS6 #Bazozwa, and #BBMzansiSpecial and connect with us on Facebook, X (Twitter), Instagram, and TikTok.
