BIG BROTHER MZANSI S4 – S’YA MOSHA LAUNCHES WITH A SURPRISE TWIST FOR THIS SEASON’S HOUSEMATES
The fourth season of Big Brother Mzansi: S’ya Mosha stormed into action on Mzansi Magic (DStv channel 161) last night (Sunday, 21 January). And from the first episode of the show, it was game on, with Biggie adding a twist to the to the housemates’ count – a trio of Disruptors!
But before the surprise announcement, to get the show off to an electric start was DJ and producer Tyler ICU ft Tumelo.za, Leemackrazy & Khaul Anderson with a DJ Set/Mix which included the hit song Mnike. Kamo Mphela kicked it up a notch when she took to the stage with her dance crew to perform yet another fan favourite, Dalie, ushering in show host Lawrence Maleka.
First up was a look at the brand-new house and this year Biggie made sure the house is a kaleidoscope of colour, spacious, resembling a fun haven for the housemates with some décor elements provided by the show’s headline sponsor Lotto Star. A large lounge, garden, deck, Jacuzzi, spacious kitchen, bathroom, storeroom and of course, a cosy diary room for Biggie’s moments with the housemates.
Then it was time for the big reveal…the Big Brother Mzansi Season 4 Housemates! Lawrence wasted no time in introducing the first housemate and that was Makhekhe, a self-confessed ‘ladies’ man’ who came in already hyped, ready for ‘ukumosha’.
Next up was Bravo B, insizwa yaKwaNongoma, who walked in spotting his traditional headpiece and prompting Lawrence to say: “Nawu umshado mantombazane”! BravoB says he is looking forward to grabbing that R2million prize since he fears being poor forever. Sinaye from the Eastern Cape was the third housemate to walk out and his strategy for the game is “to be the best version of himself that he could ever be”. Next was Mcjunior who says the best person who knows him is his girlfriend and has a bad case of tropophobia.
Viewers at home were also not left out with Lawrence reading some of the social media posts from fans who commented on the house décor, with one calling it a ‘’Nice Upgration” and others already mentioning some housemates as faves on the BBMzansi hashtag.
While the four gents were getting acquainted in the house, it was time for Lawrence to introduce the first queen, Yolanda. The model and insurance broker speaks seven languages and was a welcome infusion of ‘womandla’ in the house. Mpumi, ngwanyana wakoPitori was the second female housemate to be welcomed and promised nothing but entertainment because she was born to be a star.
“After God, fear Xhosa men”, said the next housemate, Pale, looking prim in blue and revealed that she had told friends she was going on a work trip, but “Surprise!”. Next was Mali. Her name says it all! She is all about securing the bag and said as much as she loves money, if she wins the R2mil grand prize, the first person she will spoil is her mother.
After the break, Lawrencce reminded viewers that Biggie already had a twist up his sleeve for the housemates, and while the audience waited in anticipation for that, he introduced the next performers, ezeAfro! From the house of Afrotainment perfoming Babekhethiwe was Dladla Mshunqisi featuring Siboniso accompanied by DJ Tira.
Then it was back to introducing the ninth housemate, Willy who said he wants to be seen from all angles in the house. Smooth talker, Jareed was next to grace the stage who and seemed to be a fan favourite, prompting Lawrence to ask “Udume ngani wathandwa kangaka?” with Jareed responding: “It’s the look, I put it on!”
The eleventh housemate was Young Pappi, the ‘Hispanic lady killer’, a content creator who is looking to make his mark on BBM with his wit and drama. Next up was Liema, a waitress, podcaster and singer who strutted her way to the stage and admitted being ‘nervous’. Host Lawrence prompted her to sing for the audience and she did, revealing that she, indeed, can hold a note.
With the show being all about the unexpected twists and turns, Lawrence urged viewers to tune in to channel 198 after the launch show for Biggie’s immunity surprise.
Back on stage Lawrence continued to introduce the next housemate, loud and talkative Mich, who was ready for ‘ukumosha’. He was followed by Sammy M who said her strategy for the game is to observe and take advantage of other housemates’ weaknesses. Living her life like it’s golden was Meelay, who said she was ‘bringing drama, sass and everything nice’ to the house.
Self-confessed neat freak, Zee was the next housemate to be introduced who was more excited than nervous to meet the other housemates. Next was Chuenzaa, who said if they won the grand prize they would take their mother, sister and BBM host Lawrence to the city of love, Paris!
It was giving ‘here comes the bride’ when next housemate Lerato walked out on stage in a wedding ensemble, getting the studio audience to sing wedding songs. Her outfit said it all…provocative, disruptive and full of drama.
Artist, musician and model Papaghost in his white lace pants, was next and promised to deliver loads of energy all day everyday. Els made the number of housemates twenty and said he is looking for a tall gent, with a great smile and a great face.
Then came the long-awaited twist announcement…Lawrence introduced the Disruptors, Neo, Taki and Fahima, making it 23 housemates going into the BBM house. However, the other housemates are not aware that the trio will cause a stir, bring chaos and definitely bring the term S’ya Mosha to life! Tune in to see what undercover assignments Biggie has given them.

So, I’m a lover. I am very big on love and affection. One of my love languages is definitely physical touch, gifting as well. It doesn’t have to be the most expensive thing. Even if it’s a sweet that you saw and you thought of me, that’s cute. Just being thoughtful.
S’ya Mosha actually represents what I stand for; Disrupting the status quo and just infiltrating spaces and I feel like S’ya Mosha is giving something like that. I don’t know if Big Brother has the same sentiments that I do, but I feel like S’ya Mosha means we are disrupting and coming for everything.
I am a disruptor because I always challenge the status quo. I look at things and think “I’m not going to take it as it is”, well most of the time. I’m going to challenge it, make it my own and make it fly while also destructing.

S’ya Mosha according to my understanding means we’re creating chaos. It’s busy, it’s everything. It’s one, two, three. It’s drama, it’s violence, it’s kisses, it’s smashing, it’s everything.
I’m a disruptor because I’m going to create chaos in that house. I’m going to make sure that everyone must feel my presence. And they must feel gore ja Young Pappi is in charge. I’m in charge here.
