Big Brother kicked off the week with a challenge that's all about celebrating what makes us uniquely South African!

This week's theme is "No DNA, just RSA," and it's all about embracing our diverse cultures, traditions, and identities.

THE TASK:

The housemates will be divided into four teams and will need to create:

1. A proudly South African outfit that combines modern and traditional elements.

2. Additional display items that showcase the different cultures of our beautiful country.

Think artwork, pottery, sculptures, and more! Housemates will have to get creative and let their cultural knowledge shine through!

The presentation:

On Thursday, they'll present their creations and share the inspiration behind them. Each team member will have to present an item or two within the allocated 10-minute time frame.

Oh, and they need to remember to mention at least five things they love and admire about being South African!

The stakes:

They had to decide how much of their weekly allowance they're willing to wager. The options were 70%, 80%, 90%, or 100%! Being the patriots they are, they wagered 100%.

Get ready to experience cultural pride and creativity courtesy of Biggie and his housemates.

The housemates are already buzzing with excitement, brainstorming ideas, and discovering shared lineages!

We're excited to see what they'll create. How will they present "national pride" to us? The countdown begins! Be sure to tune in to experience what lies in the RSA DNA.
