After 71 days of laughter, tears, and adventure, which saw 20 housemates competing for the grand prize of R2 million. The Big Brother Mzansi journey has come to a spectacular end, with Michelle Mphowabadimo Vundla voted season 3’s winner.
Crowned at the end of a dramatic two-hour live show, a tearful Mpho fell to her knees before leaping for joy.
“Thank you, Mzansi” were the only words the tearful 27-year-old sangoma from Daveyton could utter after she was named the winner.
“I’m excited and anxious, but I’m happy to be here,”
Mphowabadimo, who was dressed in a stunning red dress, had said to host Lawrence Maleka earlier in the show. Reflecting on her journey, she said:
“It has changed me a lot. I have grown, I have healed, I’m a bigger person than I was walking into the house. I am grateful for this experience. I will never be the same.”
Mphowabadimo also beat out Tulani ‘Tulz’ Madala, Libo Njomba and Themba Mabaso to win the biggest-ever prize money in Big Brother Mzansi history.
