Keegan winner of BBA7

Keegan Petersen, the winner of Big Brother Africa season 7 with IK Osakioduwa the presenter on Sunday 5th August 2012. He beat the other five fellow finalists, Lady May from Namibia, Wati from Malawi, Kyle from Uganda, Talia from Zambia and Prezzo from Kenya to win the $300,000 cash prize. To me, he was very matured in handling crisis and provocation in the house.

KEEGAN The Cape Town born South African became the first South African representative in the house to hit the jack pot in the Africa’s most popular reality television show.

PREZZO

TALIA

Uganda's contenstant in this year’s Big Brother Africa reality show, Kyle, came fifth out of sixth after managing to stay in the game for the full 91 days.

Wati, adored by all housemates for his great cooking, garden making, and down-to-earth leaderships skills, but despised for his heavily drinking habits, only got one vote (from Malawi). Wati stayed to the last day because of his drunkenness.

LADY MAY of Namibia, the 'kolo' woman 'who no send'(she did not give a damn about what other housemates were saying about her). Most times she was always on her own. She was a real drama queen whether in the room or in the Kitchen. I expected her to be the runner-up but Africans voted differently.

“I heard that I was the most boring housemate but I thank Africa for keeping me in the house to the finals,

” said Lady May when she got on stage. She really had her moment on stage with that costume she wore instead of a real dress.

Goldie represented Nigeria with Prezzo.

This year the houses were separated into upville and downville. In the downville, they had 28 participants from Uganda (Kyle and Janette), Kenya (Alex and Malonza), Tanzania (Hilda and Julio), South Africa (Keagan and Lee), Zambia (Tamara and Talia), Malawi (Nafe and Wati), Namibia (Junia and Jesica), Liberia (Yadel and Luke), Ghana (Mildred and Keitta), Nigeria (Ola and Chris), Angola (Seydou and Esperanca), Botswana (Edith and Eve), Zimbabwe (Maneta and Teclar) and Sierra Leone (Dalphin and Zainab).

The live final show had several African artistes performing, including Nigeria’s D’Banj and Naeto C, Ghana’s Sarkodie, Uganda’s Navio and South Africa’s Khuli Chana Prezzo, real names Jackson Ngechu Makini, was however rewarded with a One Campaign ambassador slot for finishing second and has also been told he would attend Jay Z’s concert in US on a date to be announced later.
