Day 46: Bravo B, King Wanda, Liema and Thandeka at the centre of fallout – BBMzansi

News26 February 2026
The cracks in the house are getting deeper, and alliances are being tested from every angle.
Bravo B, Thandeka, and Mmeli

Drama is taking over the house as multiple fallouts, arguments and tensions continue to escalate. From fashion feuds and unresolved apologies to whispered instructions, public displays and eyebrow-raising jokes, the housemates are navigating a minefield of rivalries and mistrust. Conflicts between key players have sparked ripple effects, leaving friendships tested, alliances questioned and the atmosphere thick with anticipation. 

Fashion Fallout: Thandeka Fires Back at Liema
The fashion tension just reached new heights after Thandeka openly criticised Liema’s wardrobe – and it didn’t come out of nowhere. It all started when Liema made a bold remark, claiming that Thandeka only has “three outfits.” The comment clearly didn’t sit well with Thandeka, who later fired back with sharp words of her own. Thandeka said Liema has the worst sense of style and suggested that if anyone looked inside her wardrobe, they would see she doesn’t even understand her own fashion identity. She specifically called out Liema’s oversized jackets with fur, implying they missed the mark completely. 

Bravo B vs King Wanda
Yesterday, Bravo B made a remark that involved King Wanda’s child, which upset him so much that he went to sit alone by the pool and cried. Although Bravo B apologised, King Wanda said that his apology might not have been entirely sincere, suggesting that, as a Zulu man, he would never apologise. The tension remains unresolved, with King Wanda clearly not ready to move past the comment. 

Liema Under Fire
Liema found herself at the centre of multiple conflicts: Mmeli accused her of taking his banana and pretending it was her own only for it to mysteriously reappear later. Thandeka also shared that Liema had despised her, adding to their ongoing friction. At the arena during last night's Roberson's Spice Challenge, Liema claimed Ilano got a word wrong during a task and that someone had whispered instructions in the Ninja’s ear before a decision was made. Didi reportedly saw it too, and laughter followed from King Wanda, The Don and others. Ilano became upset, accusing them of bullying her.

Thandeka vs The Don
Thandeka questioned The Don’s loyalty, saying he received Neliswa’s rules, aligned himself with her clique, and then became the only male housemate to nominate her. She made it clear that she is playing her own game and would not intentionally lead anyone into disqualification.

Friendship and Public Displays
Thandeka complained about someone trying to ruin her friendship with Bravo B, pointing out that the same person did not seem bothered when Didi was openly twerking. We all assume that person was Trixie, since she had once complained about Thandeka being close to Bravo B. Later, tensions subtly flared up when Thandeka put her hands in Mmeli’s shorts, prompting Bravo B to comment that girls like doing things publicly to be seen, suggesting that such actions can create unnecessary drama.

Wager Shade
During preparations, Bravo laughed at Ilano’s presentation, telling her to start again. King Wanda criticised her art piece as “too white,” suggesting she should paint it more. Thandeka stepped in, urging everyone to focus on their own R2 million instead of tearing Ilano down.

The Boombox Bomb
Just when things seemed tense enough, the Boombox dropped a bombshell, calling out housemates for “acting” and putting on performances, even referencing a girlfriend situation involving a housemate with a Nigerian accent. The voice claimed that Liema’s strategy had already been noticed. Chaos followed as housemates tried to figure out who was behind the message, with suspicions pointing at Mashel. One female housemate (who might be Didi) also declared that she was over Mmeli, adding another layer of fallout.
