Apologetic Maneta

Zimbabwes disqualified representatives in the Big Brother Africa (BBA) Stargame reality show Maneta Mazanhi and Rockford (Roki) Josphats whose cat-and-mouse relationship in the house saw them biting more than they could chew have apologised to the nation for their unbecoming behaviour in the reality show.

Maneta, who returned home on a low note last Friday, told NewsDay her costly fights with Roki were not premeditated. Roki and I always had our differences when we were in the house. It was pure coincidence that I wore black on the day we fought and people thought I wore that colour intentionally. Our fight wasnt planned or staged. It was just an irrational reaction that happened, she said.

Munya, Vimbai condemn Roki and Maneta

Speaking out ... Vimbai Mutinhiri and Munyaradzi Chidzonga

ZIMBABWEAN Big Brother Africa rejects Rockford ‘Roki’ Josphats and Maneta Mazanhi have come under fire from two past stars on the M-Net TV show.

Vimbai Mutinhiri, who reached the penultimate week last year, and Munya Chidzonga, runner-up the previous year, took to Twitter to condemn Roki and Maneta after they were kicked off the show on Tuesday for fighting.

Vimbai (@miss_vimbai), now host of her own TV show on Africa Magic, blasted: “I get so many emails daily from young Zimbabweans who want to represent their country and uplift themselves. Sad Roki and Maneta wasted the opportunity.”

Disgraced Roki and Maneta arrive home today

Zimbabwe’s representatives in Big Brother StarGame Rockford “Roki” Josphats and Maneta Mazanhi are expected home this evening. They were disqualified from the reality show on Tuesday afternoon after a brawl.

Following their exit from the reality series, the two underwent anger management, counselling and psychological treatment before being released.

The relationship between the two has never been smooth ever since Maneta moved to Upville where she joined a host of celebrity housemates from Africa, including Roki.

Disgraced duo - Roki and Maneta

Following a feud between Zimbabwe’s Big Brother Stargame representatives Roki and Maneta that led to their disqualification from the game, viewers expressed mixed feelings over the event and below are some of the comments posted on social networks:

Innocent Nyamatore

Thumbs up Big Brother for throwing the violent duo of Roki and Maneta out of the house. I am sure Chipangano would be more than happy to recruit the two when they return from South Africa. They failed to be true ambassadors of the new Zimbabwe we want.

Maneta, Roki kicked out of Big Brother - the details



Disqualified from BBA Maneta

ZIMBABWE'S Big Brother Africa housemates Rockford ‘Roki’ Josphats and Maneta Musanhi are headed home after being kicked out of the M-Net TV show for violence.

They are the third and fourth housemates to be sent home for breaching the violence rule which states that physical attacks, provocation, goading, bullying and victimisation are strictly prohibited. The first to go last week was Ghana’s DKB for slapping Zainab of Sierra Leone. Show bosses decided Zainab had contributed to the situation by provoking DKB.
