- Supporters of Thandeka Tshabalala have rallied financial contributions for the former reality star
- Tshabalala was the runner-up in Big Brother Mzansi Season 6, finishing behind returning contestant Liema Pantsi
- She recently gave interviews on two podcasts, expressing her frustrations regarding the show
What is the total amount raised for Thandeka?
On a GoFundMe page, Thandeka’s supporters, called the Thalians, stated they are contributing as a token of appreciation for the memorable entertainment she provided.
“I’ll be glad if you join us to raise funds for Thandeka, and reward her for giving us an unforgettable season of reality TV.”
The fundraising effort was launched five days after Liema Pantsi was declared the winner. The campaign has received 474 donations thus far, with a total target of R1 million; however, they have only raised around R280K to date.

Thandeka claims the Bazozwa title
In an interview on the Engineer Your Life Podcast, Thandeka asserted that her performance in the competition was legitimate, claiming she is the Bazozwa queen.
“I am the Queen of Bazozwa, forever. I worked hard to be me. I worked hard not to let those circumstances make me say, ‘Thandeka, turn into somebody else. Strategise and be whatever,” she boldly stated.
She added that she possesses all the traits of a true winner, which she believes Liema Pantsi lacks:
“Bazozwa is about articulating yourselves well, it’s about learning when to sit back and observe that silence is loud. I was all of those things and more, and boy, did they hear. Even the winner knows,” she cheekily said. “They should have let a person have what was theirs,” maintaining that the previous year’s winner was similarly deprived. “I said that the moment I came out, that Thandeka Tshabalala is the queen of Bazozwa, so you can keep whatever, but we all know who the winner was.”
