Being Head of House is never easy, and King Wanda is learning that in real time. From praise to criticism, housemates have openly shared how they feel about his leadership style. Some appreciate his effort, others question his approach, but one thing is clear: his reign is sparking strong opinions inside the house.

During his diary session King Wanda shared he felt he was doing well as HoH, though the responsibility is overwhelming. He shares that managing strong personalities in the house drains him and that certain housemates trigger him emotionally. Despite the pressure, he says he prefers using words over physical reactions and is trying to navigate leadership calmly. But the housemates shared different remarks.

Trixie seems says King Wanda is doing okay as HoH and that it’s still early days, but he is trying. However, she feels Thandeka intimidates him and disrupts his leadership during wager preparations.

Didi says King Wanda isn’t a bad HoH and believes he has natural leadership qualities. She feels housemates challenge him because they are not intimidated by him.

Thandeka says she felt dismissed when King Wanda told her not to instruct other housemates during a freeze moment. She also describes tension between them during household task discussions, particularly around cleaning responsibilities and food storage conflicts.

Ramona feels King Wanda has relaxed into his role and isn’t putting his best foot forward. She describes his leadership style as controlling and believes he isn’t a strong HoH. She also criticises his sleeping habits, saying she wouldn’t behave that way if she were HoH.

Ashay gives King Wanda credit for how he is handling the HoH role and shows appreciation for his leadership.

Liema feels King Wanda is doing a good job and says she likes how he is leading. She acknowledges hearing criticism about him but believes people operate differently and maintains that she supports his approach.

Bravo B says he has no complaints about King Wanda’s leadership and is comfortable with how he is running the house.

Tumi the Barber feels King Wanda is overly emotional and says his friendliness can come across as forced or fake.

Ilano believes King Wanda prefers to shine on his own, especially during wager preparations, and feels he was unwilling to share opportunities when she asked.

Mmeli says he doesn’t hate King Wanda but dislikes some of his mannerisms. He makes it clear he is focused on his own journey rather than dwelling on leadership dynamics.
