Zimbabwe's BBA representative Maneta upset by friend's expulsion

Zimbabwe's representative at the popular reality show, Big Brother underway in South Africa-Maneta Mazanhi, is said to have been "deeply" affected by Zainab's (Sierra Leone) disqualification from the game on Monday evening.

Reports say Zainab and DKB of Ghana were disqualified from the Stargame after a brawl following a provocation.

DKB slapped Zainab accusing her of infringing on his privacy after she opened the bathroom door while he was taking a bath.

Big Brother rules forbid violence of any kind and the two housemates had to be disqualified.

Maneta complained about how everyone she gets close to subsequently got evicted.

First it was Zambia's dance queen, Mampi, who became the first housemate to be evicted from Upville two weeks ago.

Maneta and Mampi had become very close, but fellow housemates did not approve their relationship saying it hinged on gossiping. They were both nominated for possible eviction and Maneta survived.

After realising that gossiping almost cost her, Maneta got close to Zainab to correct her mistake. The two had become close and Maneta appeared settled until the unfortunate event on Monday, reports say.

When Zainaba and DKB were disqualified, the scheduled Monday nominations were called off after the mind-numbing incident.

During the live nomination show, Biggie told the starmates nominations had been cancelled.

"Due to the regrettable events of the day, Big Brother has decided to nullify nominations and cancel the eviction," said Big Brother.

Zainab and DKB's disqualification was a blessing in disguise though for the Upville housemates, as the two had dominated the nominations suggesting they were not popular in the house.

Last week during a conversation in the house Maneta labelled Zimra as one of the most corrupt institutions in Zimbabwe.
