Liema Pantsi, when she returned to the \u201cBig Brother Mzansi\u201d house, had one goal: to secure the grand prize, a feat she has successfully achieved.<\/p>\n

During the finale held on Sunday, it was announced that the 24-year-old musician garnered 33.84% of the public vote, while her fellow housemate Thandeka received 29.97%, earning her the title of runner-up.<\/p>\n

Liema emerged victorious in the \u201cBig Brother Mzansi\u201d competition, winning R2 million in prize money along with over R3000 obtained from several weekly sponsorship challenges throughout the season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

From Qonce in the Eastern Cape, Liema was first seen on season five of \u201cBig Brother Mzansi\u201d, where she exited early by choosing to take money in a game, thus concluding her time on the show.<\/p>\n

After her initial stint on \u201cBig Brother Mzansi\u201d, Liema shifted her focus to music, releasing an album and collaborating with prominent Mzansi artists including DJ Zinhle, Cici, and Mthunzi. Last year, she was honored with awards at the Basadi in Music Awards, winning titles for Collaboration of the Year and SAMRO Songwriter of the Year.<\/p>\n

In 2026, Liema made a return to \u201cBig Brother Mzansi\u201d, now as an industry professional already collaborating with leading brands like Honor and establishing her presence as an artist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
