The Big Brother Africa season nine and the
final, tagged Hotshots ended on Sunday, December 7, with Idris from Tanzania rising
winner. 
The day witnessed 8 housemates — Sipe,
Nhlanhla, Mackey 2, JJ, Idris, Mam’bea, Butterphly and Tayo — of 26 competing
for $ 300, 000 take home after 63 days.
They were evicted in dual order: Butterphly
and Mam’bea, JJ and Sipe, Nhlanhla and Macky2, leaving Idris and Tayo.
The last two contenders were feted with a
burst of fireworks as they walked out of the Big Brother house for the last
time.
Nigeria’s Tayo was one of the more
controversial housemates, often engaged in war of words with his fellow
housemates.
His “realness,” however, made him a fan’s
favourite.
There were performances by One all-stars,
singing Cocoa na Chocolate, MI with Bad Bele.
Some highlights of the show included a prank
by Big Brother where past contestants of the show including Nigeria’s Uti, a
former winner, were added to the competition. They stayed in the house for a
week and brought a lot of chaos and entertainment.
There was also the “freeze” challenge.
Towards the end of the competition, the housemates were visited by a loved one
during this challenge. This brought some high emotion to the show.
The winner of the show goes home with $300,
000.
