<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Outside of the continent, he says 
that Canada is his favourite destination because of all the 
opportunities there, but also because his son Taye was born there. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Frankie considers his parents to be his role models, because “they have 
gone through lots of tribulations, but love and kindness always 
blossomed” he says.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> His proudest achievements are graduating from 
university and when his son was born.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Frankie says that viewers can expect “great times full of enthusiasm and
 adventure” from him and that if he wins, he’ll contribute towards 
building a school in his grandmother’s village and buy a house for him 
parents, to thank them for everything they did for him. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Frankie gets along with both sexes and sees no point in lying about his 
age. He says being one of the first Rwandans to be on the show is 
"tremendously incredible."

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Kigali-born Radio Presenter Arthur describes himself as ‘funny, humorous
 and humble’. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">He says he loves the fact that he is social and makes 
friends easily. He enjoys people who are humble, and dislikes people who
 are irresponsible. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> His favourite foods are rice and beans, his favourite book The Whole 
Truth, and favourite TV show, Real Husbands of Hollywood. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">He enjoys 
Usher’s music and his favourite actor, Kevin Hart, is the star of his 
favourite film, Think Like A Man Too. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> He says that viewers can expect ‘talent and humour’ from him and if he 
wins, he’ll invest his money in business. What won’t he do to win? 
‘Anything that goes against my human nature’. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Arthur believes that ‘originality’ is the best thing about Africa, in 
terms of its culture. His favourite place outside the continent is the 
United Kingdom, ‘because that place is calm – especially Wales’. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Arthur’s role model is Chris Rock, because ‘he is really good when it 
comes to comedy and he has helped so many comedians to make it on the 
market’.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Arthur has mixed feelings about being the first Rwandan on the show. He says he loves eyes so he's  intrigued by eye contact.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">M-Net and Endemol SA are pleased to announce that due to recent developments, Rwanda has now been re-instated as a participating country in Big Brother Hotshots.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The re-instatement is as a result of the delay in production which led to adequate time being available to process the necessary documentation for the housemates to participate in the reality show.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Trezagah studied Civil Engineering. He doesn’t have a favourite food, 
because he says he loves eating. “I eat everything" he says.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> The classic
 Hardy Boys books are his favourite, while he enjoys the Discovery and 
National Geographic channels on TV because he admits he likes to “watch 
crocodiles and sharks attacking”. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Trezagah was inspired to enter Big Brother Hotshots by watching previous
 seasons. He is both happy and nervous at the thought of having the 
continent’s eyes on him.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">He says the best thing about Africa is “the 
culture each country preserves” and says his favourite place in 
Mozambique is Yofo Beach. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">He likes the Caribbean Islands because he’s a 
great fan of nature.

His role model is Jay Z, “because he knows how to dress, how to be on 
stage, how to behave and has good business control” he says. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">His parents
 have played an influential role in his life because they always showed 
him what was right and what was wrong. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">He describes himself as “happy, active and wise” and says the best thing
 about himself is the way he treats people indiscriminately, saying he 
can “be a friend of a poor person or even a person that sleeps on the 
street”. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />Trezagah is convinced that his constant happiness and playful mood will 
excite his housemates. He admits though, that he can also be reserved at
 times, which could rub them the wrong way.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">A 1.93m-tall model with a Higher National Diploma in Maritime Studies, 
Tayo from Nigeria, certainly stands out in a crowd. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">He lists his 
favourite foods as eba and okra soup mixed with fish stew, his favourite
 musicians are 2Face Idibia, Beautiful Nubia and D’Banj. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> He says his favourite place in Nigeria is Oyo Town, his place of birth. 
“That’s my home, where I started life. It reminds me of who I am now and
 how far I’ve come in life,” he says. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">He says the best thing about 
Africa is culture and pride and that his favourite place outside of 
Nigeria is South Africa, which he calls his “home away from home”. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> He entered Big Brother Hotshots because he believes in himself, and was 
also encouraged to enter by others. “I like to be seen and to be heard,”
 he says.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Tayo says he’s not willing to change who he is or disgrace his
 family and friends to impress viewers or his fellow housemates. If Tayo
 wins the grand prize he’ll set up his life and give himself a life of 
luxury. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Pleasant surprises may reduce him to tears but Tayo is not prepared to 
cheat on his girl with anyone in the Big Brother house. He's happy with 
his body so he wouldn't want to swap his with anyone.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sipe’s Mom played a 
huge role in her life too. ‘She raised three children on her own and it 
hasn’t been easy for her, but she managed to see us through school. 
She’s a very strong woman,’ she says. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">If she'd be an animal, she'd be a lion because it's a king and so is 
she.  Though her heart was broken by her ex-boyfriend, she's broken 
quite a few too.

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Self-employed former law student Samantha is from Potchefstroom in South Africa's North West Province. She loves sushi and Indian food and her favourite TV shows include 2 Broke Girls and Person of Interest, and she likes the music of Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Davido and Drake.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Her favourite films include Ica Age, Madagascar, The Perks of Being a Wallflower and This Is Forty, with Angelina Jolie her favourite actor because "she's strong, yet feminine and an amazing actress".</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Her favourite place in South Africa is Johannesburg, and she says the best thing about Africa is "the diversity of the people and the cultures". Her favourite city outside the continent is Jerusalem, which she calls "a beautiful place". Samantha says her sister is her role model, because "she's inspired me to be so much more and has played a huge role in my life".</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Samantha was inspired to enter Big Brother Hotshots, something she's wanted to do for "a very long time" because she finds cultures fascinating "and the thought of spending time with so many people from so many backgrounds is awesome".</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">If she wins the grand prize, Samantha will help the orphanages she volunteers at and take her sisters on holiday, before investing the rest.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">She describes herself as "adventurous, random, witty, caring and honest" – the final trait being her favourite. It's also something she values in others, despising dishonesty and rude people.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Samantha looks up to her younger sister and can switch from one extreme to another during conflict. For a superpower in the house she would like to hope to disappear and be a fly on the wall for a couple of moments.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Sheilla, Age: 21</b></span></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sheilla is a student from Gaborone in Botswana, currently studying an AAT Diploma. She entered Big Brother Hotshots because she believes that "it's a platform for people like me who were born for the spotlight. It puts us out there to succeed in our careers – in my case, my music career". </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">She's excited that the whole continent will be watching her: "it is like interacting within the house with someone invisible, or a ghost, and the thought of what they think just gives you an adrenaline rush".</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">She says her best quality is that she analyses things before overreacting in certain situations. She likes people who are communicative because it helps her see what they think of her and how she should behave around them. She dislikes bossy people and "people with similar strands of personality to me".</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">She likes to eat prawns and rice, as well as pap and beef. Her favourite book is In The Meantime and her top TV shows include Big Brother Africa, Keeping Up With The Kardashians and How Do I look? She enjoys the music of Beyonce, K.O., AKA and Tamela Mann and says her favourite actors are Cameron Diaz and Dwayne Johnson. Her favourite films also include The Hunger Games, Wrong Turn, The Break of Dawn and Mean Girls.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sheilla's favourite part of Botswana is the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans and says that the best thing about Africa is "the diverse but highly-principled cultures which Africans tend not to leave behind". She says that Las Vegas is her favourite place outside of Africa, because "it is a crazy, forever jolly holiday destination".</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The vintage clothing lover prefers beauty over brains because beauty radiates a positive character. She loves her derriere and calls a spade a spade. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lusaka-born Resa is an Event Planner, MC and Public Speaker. She entered Big Brother Hotshots in the hope of winning the grand prize and being able to pay off her mother's debts. "She has moved heaven and earth to ensure that I get my honours degree and in the process she has incurred debts," says Resa.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">She's "extremely nervous, but delighted at the same time" at the prospect of having the continent's eyes on her 24/7. She says the viewers can expect "realness" from her. "No pretence, I'm an open book, I don't hide my struggles because they've shaped me into who I am and I've used them as stepping stones," she says. "Also, lots of dancing and definitely lots of laughter!"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Resa describes herself as "unique, colourful, bubbly, random and hyper", saying that her inquisitive nature means that she won't suffer in silence.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">His mom is his role model, because she provided for the family with "nothing but blood, sweat and tears". He is the eldest of five children; he has three sisters and a brother. Permithias says that becoming a chef is his greatest achievement so far, because it "opened a window" for himself and his family</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">He was inspired to enter Big Brother Hotshots because he's been watching the show for years but won't sell his soul or lose his self-worth in the process. Asked how he feels knowing that the whole continent will be watching him 24/7, he says: "scared, but it will all come together the way it should". If he wins, he'll take care of his Mom and open his own restaurant.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Permithias says he's easy-going, open-minded and "down for whatever is fun" and enjoys others who are also open-minded.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Permithias is proud to be Namibian because of the unity back home. Were he an animal he'd be a horse with wings because he values freedom. He is a well spoken and rounded person and reckons fellow housemates may view him as a threat for that. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Nhlanhla, Age: 24</b></span></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Nhlanhla is from Witbank in South Africa, and is a Business Analyst, Actor and Model with an Honours degree in Information Systems. He loves fresh butternut soup, lamb shank & vegetables and cottage cheese pie. His favourite books include Animal Farm and The Great Gatsby and he enjoys Game of Thrones, Shameless, Suits and Heroes on TV. He lists Brad Pitt and Will Smith as two of his favourite actors.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">His favourite place in South Africa is the Groenkloof Nature Reserve in Pretoria and the best things about the continent as a whole are the people and their strength & resilience. Amsterdam made a big impression on him at a young age when he went there and learnt a lot about himself and personal growth.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">His mother is his role model, because she sacrificed a lot to get him where he is today and taught him a great many things. Together with his Grandmother, she has influenced his life a great deal because they were always strong-willed and gently guided him through life.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Nhlanhla entered Big Brother Hotshots because he's been a fan ever since he saw his first season on DStv. "I just knew that I wanted to be on the show myself, and wanted to take the opportunity to have my personality spread all over the world". He thinks having the continent's eyes on him 24/7 will be "nerve-wracking", but says it's a great feeling knowing he'll be watched by the continent and can influence the viewers.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">He describes himself as "crazy, eccentric, narcissistic, energetic and spiritual" and enjoys the fact that he’s always positive and optimistic, and always sees the beauty in others.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Nhanhla thinks of himself as both street and book-smart. He has an alter-ego for his wild side and his strategy is to approach things as you would a game of chess; to use people, their strengths and weaknesses as pawns in his rise to the top.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Her favourite place in Mozambique is Maragra.

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">She describes herself as "fun, honest, reliable, fair and considerate" and says that she's "laid-back and easy to talk to". She enjoys people who are considerate, honest, reliable, fun and opinionated, but doesn’t like rude and judgemental people.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Macky2, Age: 29</b></span></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hip hop musician Macky2 is from Luanshya in Zambia. His favourite book is 48 Laws of Power and his top TV shows are Suits, Crisis, Game of Thrones and Idols SA. His favourite actor is Denzel Washington, because he's able to play so many characters and bring each one to life.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jay-Z is both his favourite musician and his role model – the latter because "he's one of the most successful entertainers of our generation". His father has also played a huge role in Macky2's life.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">He entered Big Brother Hotshots because he believes that "people naturally fall in love with my personality, so I know I stand a chance of winning that grand prize and changing my life". Macky2 says he won't lose himself and what he believes in, along the way.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Describing himself as "a natural entertainer who's loveable", he says he always pushed himself and is never discouraged by setbacks. "I'm confident and I truly believe I can do anything I set my mind to," he says.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> <b>Mr 265, Age: 23</b></span></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">TV presenter, Mr 265 is single and currently studying Purchasing and Supply Management. He entered Big Brother Hotshots because he always thought he could win it, when he used to watch it. "It's easy to criticize people on different things, especially when you don't know how it's like being in their shoes," he says. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">"I have watched Big Brother for a while and I have always told myself I can win the show, I can do better, but I don't know what really goes on. So I have given myself a challenge to now step into the shoes I wasn't wearing before and see how I will walk with them".</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Mr 265's favourite food is crispy fried chicken, his favourite book is 'Screw It, Let's Do It' and his favourite singers, P-Square. He enjoys watching, CSI Miami, Big Brother Africa and Suits on the small screen, and 300, The Bourne Identity, The Dark Knight Rises and The Italian Job on the big screen. His favourite actors are Dwayne Johnson, Vin Diesel and Robert Downey Jnr.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">He won't pretend to be someone he's not, to win the grand prize. "It's very disappointing to get booted out and know that you weren't your real self. I would rather lose the money at the expense of being myself. Then I can say I tried my level best. Everybody has his own morals," says Mr 265. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Asked about his feelings on knowing that the continent's eyes will be glued to their screens 24/7, he says he'll feel the pressure. "Pressure is and will be there for the first few days. I am taking it like a new job".</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">He says that the best thing about Africa is that it's very rich in natural resources, with Mangochi as his favourite place. Further afield, his favourite place is the USA, because "it's a big country and has a mixture of different people with different cultural backgrounds. Raw talent is an asset," he says.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Outgoing and energetic, if he had the chance he would ask Biggie if he can stand the heat. However, he says he can put on quite a show for the ladies and challenges Africa to just stay tuned.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Goitse hails from Mahalapye in Botswana. 'Home, Sweet Home' is her favourite place – "the comfort, a home-cooked meal and my family just make it my favorite", she says.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">She says the best thing about Africa is its history. South Africa is her favourite place outside of Botswana because she has ‘met great people there who have become family. They also have a range of interesting official languages’, which are similar to those in Botswana.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Goitse says she entered Big Brother Hotshots for the adventure. "People from different countries in Africa, all under one roof, no contact with the outside world in any way? Now that's amazing!" she says. In her quest for the prize, she won't pretend to be someone she's not and if she wins, she'll use the money to open a dance studio.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">She says her mom is her role model because she's a fighter and a survivor. Goitse describes herself as "free-spirited, fun and motivated".</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Goitse is "happy to entertain you." With a street-smart fashion style and a personality she describes as "vibrant, bold and outgoing," she is sure to be another exciting addition to the house.  </span></span></div>
