Big Brother Mzansi Bazozwa: First Evictions Rock the House

Venecia Valentine

Big Brother Mzansi Season 6: Bazozwa has delivered its first major shake-up. After two tense weeks in the house, Lawredo and Ofentse have become the first housemates to be evicted. Their departure unfolded during the second live eviction show on Sunday, 25 January at 18:00.

A Night of Drama and Reflection

Host Smash Afrika opened the live show with trademark flair, setting the tone for an emotionally charged evening. He teased a week filled with conflict, romance, and strategy, before guiding viewers through a recap of the moments that shaped the house dynamics.

The pressure was clear. Alliances had shifted. Conversations carried weight. Every move mattered.

Housemates Up for Eviction

Following nominations, six housemates faced possible eviction.

Those on the block were:
• Cue
• Ofentse
• Tumi the Barber
• Neliswa
• Lawredo
• The Don

Public votes decided the outcome. When the results were revealed, Lawredo and Ofentse were named the season’s first evictees.

Lawredo’s Short but Symbolic Journey

Lawredo’s exit came with a moment of irony. He was the first housemate to walk into the Big Brother Mzansi house on launch night. He is now one of the first to leave.

Despite his short stay, his journey highlighted Bazozwa’s unpredictability. Speaking after his eviction, Lawredo said he already felt like a winner for making it into Biggie’s house. His exit reminded housemates and viewers alike that no position is secure.

Ofentse Reflects on His Exit

Ofentse’s eviction added another emotional layer to the night. He admitted that being viewed as the season’s “villain” caught him off guard. He spoke openly about conversations left unfinished and connections that would now remain unresolved.

His departure reinforced how quickly perceptions shape outcomes in the house.

A New Twist Changes the Game

After the goodbyes, Smash announced a major twist. The Untouchables Pick.

This new power gave Head of House Dube the chance to save two housemates from the next round of nominations. Dube acted immediately, selecting Bravo B and Kokii. The pair now hold the title of the first untouchables of the season.

What This Means for the House

With the first evictions complete, the tone inside the house has shifted. Strategy now outweighs comfort. Every conversation carries risk. Alliances face pressure.

Bazozwa has officially entered a more intense phase. The remaining housemates know the game has begun in earnest.
