Thandeka did not secure the grand prize of R2 million, but her supporters have come together to help her in other ways.
In the aftermath of the Big Brother Mzansi finale on Sunday, 22 March 2026, in which Liema Pantsi took home the top prize, fans of Thandeka quickly organized a GoFundMe initiative with the goal of raising R1 million for the reality star.
The fundraising campaign, initiated by a fan on X (formerly Twitter), quickly gained momentum, with donations increasing consistently.
To date, the fundraiser has raised over €4,394 (approximately R87,000), indicating significant enthusiasm from her supporters.
During her time on the show, Thandeka became a beloved figure, particularly noted for her relationship with fellow contestant Mmeli. She continues to be a topic of discussion on social media, with many fans expressing that she was deserving of the win.
Supporters actively encouraged additional contributions, with one fan stating, “We here, she must increase the amount to 3million target! I will do it over and over again!”
Another supporter commented, “Thandeka deserves every penny. Let’s show her love by contributing massively.”
Some fans even calculated potential contributions, with one post noting, “If 4000 people contribute R500 each, Thandeka will have R2 million.”
