Zimbabwe’s representative in Africa’s Celebrity Big Brother reality TV show landed in second place, but took home a prize bigger than the official jackpot, a date from President Robert Mugabe’s family. Reports from Harare say the Zimbabwean loser was whisked away to State House to meet Mugabe immidiately he landed.
Uti Nwachukwu from Nigeria won the official 200,000-dollar prize from the show. The celebrity Big Brother reality show locks up contestants from around the continent in a house.
Munyaradzi Chidzonga just lost out to Uti received a 300,000-dollar cheque from President Robert Mugabe on Wednesday, $100, 000 more than the winner.
Mugabe, who probably did not watch the show, also declared the voting as ‘not free and fair’. Really?
Zimbabwe teachers and nurses are on strike every other week in Zimbabwe so one wonders whether this is not a misplaced priority.
