Steven Kanumba Chini ya Macho ya BIG BROTHER


Wadau, mcheza sinema maarufu wa Tanzania, Steven Kanumba aka. Denzel wa Tanzania alikuwa ndani ya nyumba ya Big Brother huko Afrika Kusini kama STARMATE. Alikuwa pamoja na wasanii wengine kutoka nchi zingine za Afrika. Kazi yao ilikuwa kuwakaribisha washiriki wa mwaka huu.

Nashukuru hakutuaibisha huko kama yule kijana, Richard, aliyedhalilisha akina dada na kuwafanyia 'mbaya' wakiwa wamelewa. Richard alishinda lakini bado anazungumzwa kwa uonevu aliyofanya.

The Starmates are Out!

"Please bring them girls. At least three.." -Kanumba

After two fun-packed days in the house, the Starmates say their goodbyes to the Housemates. What will life in the house be like without the Starmates and especially the women?In a group diary session, Big Brother asked the Starmates what they think will happen after they leave the house. Nonhle pointed out that the food would be a problem as some Housemates ate more than others. She also wondered who would prepare the food in their absence.Khanyi thought that conflict would ensue in the coming week as Housemates were panicking about who to align themselves with. “Some of them have even pulled me to a corner to ask me what I think they should say in the diary room” she added.

Steve, however, thought there was more harmony than conflict in the house and that Housemates were behaving like a “family”. He had one request to Biggie though: “Please bring them girls. At least three”. Nonhle also added that some Housemates had mentioned that they were hoping to find love in the Big Brother house.When asked which Housemate they think will win the ultimate prize?Khanyi: “Teddy from Kenya AKA “Teddy Bear” because he keeps a low profileNonhle: “Leonel because “he is the most quiet and is not opinionated”.”Steven: “Itai from Zimbabwe because he’s very natural. Not fake”Tuvi: “Itai from Zim”


Kutoka Bongo 5

Shindano la nne la Big Brother limeanza jana jijini Johannesburg kwa mbwembwe za hali ya juu huku mabadiliko makubwa yakijitokeza kama kauli mbiu yao "mapinduzi" isemavyo.
Moja ya vivutio vikubwa katika uzinduzi wa shindano hilo ni pamoja na uhusishwaji wa mastaa wa tasnia ya filamu barani Afrika ambapo msanii Kanumba wa Tanzania aliungana na mastaa wengine watatu katika jumba hilo kuwakaribisha washiriki 11 kati ya washiriki 14 wanaotakiwa katika nyumba hiyo.

Moja ya mambo yaliyostua wadau na wapenzi wengi wa shindano hilo la Big Brother Revolution 2009 ni pamoja na kutoingia kwa washindani 3 wa nchi za Tanzania, Angola na Zambia kitendo kilichotafsiriwa na wengi ya kuwa huenda Kanumba ndiye mshiriki kamili wa Tanzania. Akizungumza katika hafla ya Uzinduzi huo meneja masoko wa kampuni ya Multi Choice Tanzania aliwataka watanzania kuwa na subira ili kujua hatma ya ushiriki wao.
Uzinduzi huo ambao uliongozwa na MC mahiri kabisa IK kutoka nchini Nigeria ilipambwa na burudani toka kwa K'naan na pia ilikuwa na surprise ya washiriki mapacha kutoka Namibia pamoja na washiriki mmoja mmoja zaidi kutoka Kenya na Uganda.

Aidha washiriki wote 12 walioingia ni wanaume na waliobaki inasemekana ni wanawake hivyo kuweka shauku ya hali ya juu kwa watazamaji wa shindano hilo.

Irate parents seek police help to stone vaccination officials

TANZANIA has for the past two years been on higher scoreboards at Big Brother Africa (BBA) reality TV show, but this year’s representative Latoya Lyakurwa failed to sustain that impressive run as she became the first housemate to be evicted from the House on Sunday.

Multichoice Tanzania Marketing Manager, Furaha Samalu said yesterday that Latoya is expected to arrive in the country today aboard a South African Airways plane.

Latoya predecessors Mwisho Mwampamba made it to the final while Richard Bezenhedount scooped the title and the 100,000 US Dollars that go with the honour last year.

Latoya was out of the game after spending less than 30 days in the House alongside Tawana and the two were visibly clenching and freezing on the couch when the Master of Ceremonies-KB finally announced that Latoya was the housemate to leave.

After the announcement, her smile remained fixed on her face and helplessly she embraced Tawana, her newly-formed close friend, bidding her farewell.

Latoya said she saw it coming that she would be evicted and that she would miss all the boys in the House. She watched with great envy as the Housemates welcomed back Tawana.

Latoya hailed Big Brother for presenting her with a great platform to market her for a month. “I really needed that”, she said.

She promised to get in contact with all the Housemates after the project has ended. “Everybody is special in their own ways. I’ll get into contact with everyone. I’d love to go to Nigeria, Botswana, Angola...”

Nigeria: MNet Sacks BBA Producer

From Allafrica.com

Posted to the web 23 November 2007

Stanley Nkwazema in Abuja

Mulitichoice yesterday confirmed that the producer of the Big Brother Africa (BBA) Programme, Martins Ngubane who produced the show on the day the Nigerian representative in the programme Ofunneka Molokwu was harassed by one of the Housemates has been relieved of his duties.

This followed pressure from the House of Representatives that the Nigerian girl was not adequately protected and the viewers treated with obscene pictures during the period.

The Operations Director of MNET Africa, Mr Joseph Hunda who appeared in the House Committee Room 13 with eight other officials of the company including Ofunneka apologised to Nigerians that there were certain editorial guidelines spelt out for the producers of the programme which were not adhered to and we have relieved the producer of the programme of his job and the superior who was supposed to supervise the day has equally been sanctioned accordingly.

Ngubani apologised to Nigerians "that those things were not supposed to come on anyway and we are sorry that it appeared and we will not allow it again".

He explained to the House of Representatives committee on Information and National Orientation that "we commissioned MNET to come out with something that will project the image of Africa. We agree that there were certain things that were not acceptable to a large part of Nigerians. We had discussions with NBC and agreed that we are going to continuously use parental control on all DSTV channels. Our customers should be able to control their homes. "

Chairman of the Committee Honourable Dino David Melaye who represents Buunu/Kaaba federal constituency of Kogi state told the Multichoice officials that Nigerians were fed with too much pornography during the period the programme lasted. NBC actually invited Multichoice twice but they never honoured the invitation.

"We will not allow our image to be dragged on the floor.Ofunneka projected the image of Nigeria and we are proud of her. We earlier banned clips, preview and full airing of the programme and we want you to apologise to Nigerians over what happened,"

Hundah however explained to the lawmakers that Multichoice has made serious efforts towards encouraging more local content in the programmes while confirming that six local stations, AIT, Channels, Silver Bird, MITV, NTA and Minaj broadcast International are already collaborating with Multichoise to improve on the content. He also disclosed that Hollywood, has not only become a household name in Africa, but acceptable the world over while a new Programme Moments with Mo aired thrice daily and produced in Nigeria is now on the DSTV channels.

Melaye also wants the company to join the Nigerian stock exchange so that Nigerians can buy into the company as they have done in NewYork andJohannesburg where the company's shares are being traded.

He also told Hundah that Nigerians would want his company to go into more serious poverty reduction programmes so that the subscribers could have a sense of belonging that at least the heavy money they are paying is being ploughed back in some way.

Ofuneka Molokwu , the runner up of the 2007 Big brother Africa show who was at the hearing said she is" proud to be a Nigerian and Delta state origin. I thank Multichoice for giving me the opportunity and the Nigerians that kept me on. I take every stride as they come. And am proud to show that am a true Nigerian and African woman"

Mnet waomba Msamaha kwa serikali ya Nigeria! -Big Brother Africa II

Nilisema mambo yaliyofanyika kwenye Big Brother Afria II ni mazito. Serikali ya Nigeria wamesema kuwa Big Brother Africa isionyeshwe nchini mwao tena kutokana na vitendo vya aibu (hasa mshindi Richard kumtia vidole Offuneka) vilivyofanyika na kuonyeshwa kwa umati.

Mnet sasa wameomba msamaha kwa serikali ya Nigeria na wameahii kuwa hawataonyesha scenes kama hizo tena!

Pia Producer wa Big Brother Africa II, Martins Ngubane AMEFUKUZWA KAZI!

BBA: Mnet apologises to Nigerians over pornographic scenes

Written by Torue Salem

Friday, 23 November 2007

Mnet, a South African distributor network, yesterday apologized to the Nigerian government over some sexually offensive video clips on the just concluded version of the Big Brother Africa reality show.

Joseph Hunda, Director, Africa Operations for Mnet, made the apology while briefing the House of Representatives Committee on Information and National Orientation on some of the immoral scenes on the show.“We want MNET to bring out something we believed would be entertaining to Nigerians and Africans and I think it went a long way in projecting the local content.

It is important for one to highlight that there were certain aspects of the show that were not acceptable to the public. The NBC called our attention to certain aspects that were not acceptable to the public. We agreed to use material with parental advisory.

We assured the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission (NBC) that we would refrain from showing certain scenes of the Big Brother Africa and we complied with that, but what happened (during the show) was beyond our control. So we apologize for those scenes that were shown and in the future such scenes will never be shown.”

The apology followed the decision of the Committee on information to ban Multichoice and its distributor networks from airing the reality show on Nigerian Television networks. The Chairman of the Rep. Dino Melaye(Bunu/Kabba/Ijumu-Kogi PDP) who spoke earlier, said Multichoice and other networks had no right whatsoever to continue showing obscene clips of the show.

Skandali ya Richard, Mshindi wa Big Brother Africa II - Sehemu ya Pili

Richard and Housemate Tatiana
Richard and his Wife Ricki

DUH! Ushindi wa Richard bado unazidi kuleta maneno.

Kuna watu wametoboa siri ya Big Brother Africa II. Wanasema kuwa baada ya Richard 'kumbaka' (kwa kumtia vidole) yule mNigeria Offuneka, Richard alifungwa chumba cha peke yake na ilibidi Offuneka ahudumiwe na EMT (Emergency Medical Technicians).

Offuneka mwenyewe anasema kuwa hakubakwa kwa vile hakumbuki ilitokea nini. Anasema kuwa bado hajaona tape za tukio. Huenda akiona hiyo kanda atabadilisha mawazo yake.

Watu wengine wamechachamaa na kukasirishwa na ushindi wa Richard. Wanasema kuwa Big Brother Africa inaongozwa na wazungu na nia yao ilikuwa ni kuonyesha kuwa waafrika ni washenzi. Mimi mwenyewe sijafurahia jinsi watu wanavyoshabikia Richard kumtia vidole mate wate, Offuneka. Bado tuko nyuma katika hakia za akina mama na hasa kunyanyaswa kijinsia.

Na sasa wanachambua familia nzima ya Richard. Wanasema kuwa baba yake Richard alikasirika sana na maneno ya mke wa Richard. Ricki alimwita Richard 'PIG'! baada ya Richard kusema anampenda Tatiana. Pia Ricki eti amesema kuwa anataka talaka na nusu ya hiyo $100,000 aliyoshinda Ricchard.

Jamani, wewe unamwona mumeo au mkeo anatamka mbele ya umati kuwa anampenda mwingine utafurahi kweli? Bora hata kamwita hiyo 'pig' maana kuna maneno mabaya zaidi ya hayo ambayo angeweza kutumia!

Kwa kweli natoa Hongera na Pole kwa Richard.

Richard’s family gangs up against Ricki

From the City Press online:

DOMINIC CHIMHAVI

THE love triangle involving Big Brother Africa 2 (BBA2) winner ­Richard and the two women in his life, Angolan contestant Tatiana and his estranged wife Ricki, continues to unfold, a week after he won the $100 000 (R672 000) prize money.

Now Richard’s family have closed ranks and are urging Tanzania’s hottest celebrity to divorce his wife for betraying and not supporting him during his 98-day stay in the enclosure.
To add more drama to the ongoing saga, this week’s homecoming party by the sponsors to welcome the winner, which was scheduled for this weekend, has been postponed to next week.
According to the spokesperson for M-Net in Tanzania, Lucy ­Kihwele, the party was postponed to give Richard an opportunity to settle his personal life.

“He is staying in a hotel until next week. We want to give him an opportunity to talk to Ricki and see if they can make up,” said Kihwele.

In the meantime, Richard’s ­father, Vincent Bezuidenhout, and his three siblings, sister Linda and brothers Edward and Louis, are all rallying around the BBA2 winner, urging him to part ways with his ­Canadian wife, arguing that she is not good enough for the Tanzanian golden boy.

“Even our neighbours are supporting us on this one. She must go. I have made up my mind, she is not good for the family” said a defiant Vincent, who was born in Uganda 67 years ago. He has five children – three boys and two girls.

The first-born, Brenda, passed away a few years ago, and Linda, who accompanied her twin brother Louis to last Sunday’s show in Johannesburg, is married and living in America.
Another brother, Edward, is a heavyweight professional boxer, and now doubling as Richard’s ­bodyguard.

Vincent’s mother, Kalinga, is a Tutsi from Rwanda. Cornelius, ­Richard’s granddad, is South African.

Richard’s mother died 14 years ago, making him very close to his father, Vincent.
Cornelius left Pretoria for Kanyonza in Uganda to open a ­diamond mine where he is a ­renowned businessman.

Vincent, who moved to Tanzania in the 70s, is an electrical engineer and has a farm outside Dar es ­Salaam. He says his anger against Ricki was fuelled on Sunday night when the Canadian allegedly insulted Richard as they watched him talk to BBA presenter Kabelo about his feelings for Tatiana.

“Ricki came home so that we could watch the final together,” said Vincent. “Soon after mentioning the name Tatiana, Ricki just hit the roof. She became angry and called him a pig.

“I was not happy with her calling my son a pig. I also lost it. I literally kicked her out of my house and she took a taxi. I don’t know where she went but that was the least of my worries.”
The elder Bezuidenhout said the only words he heard when Ricki was leaving was that they would meet her in court where she would ­demand half of the $100 000 winner’s cash.


“If he defies our call and reconciles with his wife, Richard will ­literally be placing a noose around his neck.
“Tanzania has lots of beautiful women whom he can marry – or even Tatiana,” he insisted.
“This woman is bad news for ­Richard,” said Linda, supporting her father. “She left for Canada, stayed there for more than two months, only to come back one week before the final.

“She wrote letters undermining my brother, calling him a womaniser. I have one of the letters and I can show it to you,” said an agitated ­Linda.

Louis said when they had asked Ricki to come with them to the ­airport to welcome Richard on Wednesday, she refused. “What type of a wife is she, who does not come to welcome her husband, you ask yourself?” said Louis.

While Richard has asked either his father or brother Louis to speak for him while he recovers from the hangover, Ricki was this week ­quoted in a Tanzanian blog saying she wanted to speak to Richard before giving interviews.

“I’m not prepared to talk to the media about anything regarding my future with Richard, myself, Tatiana or anything else,” said Ricki, whom Louis says has been to Richard’s hotel a couple of times.

Skandali ya Richard, Mshindi wa Big Brother Africa II


Spotlight iko tena kwa Tanzania baada ya ushindi wa Richard kwenye Big Brother Africa II. Natoa pongezi kwa Richard kwa kushinda japo nilikuwa na wasiwasi sana kuwa angetolewa shauri ya vituko vyake. Binadamu ni wa ajabu wanapenda vituko na nadhani Richard alijua hivyo.
Sasa msishangae kama ukisikia hizo dola $100,000 alizopata zinaenda kulipia mawakili wa kumtetea. Inaelekea kuna watu ambao hawajafurahishwa na matendo yake akiwa mgeni katika nyumba ya Big Brother huko Afrika Kusini. Kuna madai kuwa alimbaka mgeni mwenzake kwa kuingiza vidole ukeni mwa Offunneka Molokwu anayetoka Nigeria. Pia Richard alitamba kuwa chombo chake ni 'machine gun' na anaweza kuwafanya wanawake watatu bila matatizo.

Watetezi wa haki za akina mama hawawezi kufurahia ushindi wake. Mimi sishangai ushindi wake maana waafrika wanapenda wanaume wanao ringia vyombo vyao na ambao wanadai kuwa wanaweza kufanya ngono kwa muda mrefu na pia wanafanya wanawake wengi.

Habari za kuaminika zinasema kuwa mke wa Richard, Riki (mzungu kutoka Canada) ameomba talaka kwa sababu ya matendo yake ya ajabu kwenye Big Brother. Zaidi ya ile ya kubaka alidai kuwa anampenda 'mate' wake Tatiana Durao kutoka Angola. Huenda ndo maana hatukumwona kwenye sherehe za ushindi wa Richard.

Ubaya hii skandali inaweza kuua Big Brother Africa.

Big Brother ‘rapist’ wins

A man accused of televised sexual assault has won Big Brother Africa, says mark paterson in Johannesburg

The young man who caused a media frenzy after viewers claimed he had sexually assaulted a housemate live on Big Brother Africa yesterday won the reality show's first prize of $100,000.
Dreadlocked Richard Bezuidenhout, a 24-year-old film student from Tanzania, won the public vote, despite his role in an alcohol-fuelled threesome that has been dubbed 'Fingergate' by the African media. The girl he allegedly abused, 29-year-old Ofunneka Molokwu, a medical assistant from Nigeria, came second.

As reported on The First Post, viewers of the show watched in shock on October 28 as Bezuidenhout appeared to insert his fingers into Molokwu's vagina after an extended drinking bout that left her and another female contestant vomiting repeatedly before apparently blacking out. Paramedics had to be called in and the show's producers cut the live feed.

The incident, slammed as "cheap porn" by South African women's rights campaigner Lisa Vetton, led viewers to flood newspapers and internet message-boards across the continent with emails expressing their outrage. M-Net, which produces the show in conjunction with Endemol SA, has denied any non-consensual sex took place.

At the weekend, in a studio in Johannesburg, I had the uncertain privilege of viewing what had been billed to me beforehand as an 'uncut' version of the incident. It turned out that 'uncut' meant a 12-minute edit taken from more than two hours of relevant footage. Watching the tape in the company of three M-Net executives, I saw the housemates get plastered, fall over in a drunken heap, sob uncontrollably, and vomit - well, the women, at least.

Meanwhile, Bezuidenhout, a married man, unbuttoned his trousers, boasted about his "machinegun" and taunted the female housemates with a pledge to "bump" them all. The camera then cut to the bedroom, filmed in muddy black-and-white

night vision. Bezuidenhout was lying flat on his back in the middle of the bed. To his right, a huddled shape lay hidden beneath the duvet - Tatiana Durao, a 26-year-old Angolan with whom he has already had sex on the show. To his left lay Molokwu. Something was moving between her thighs - it looked like Richard's left hand. He seemed to be touching her private parts, and she seemed to be responding. She thrust her hips up and towards him, gripping his hand between her thighs. An idiot grin spread across Bezuidenhout's face.
The whole incident, rated suitable for 16-year-olds by the channel's censor, was filmed by a camera positioned so low that it looked right up between Ofunneka's thighs.

The Big Brother producers have consulted with lawyers over the incident. Molokwu has said on air that she has no recall of the events of that drunken afternoon - but that was before the series came to an end on Sunday, when she had yet to learn of the public outrage or see the incident from the perspective of the viewer. The big question is whether she was conscious of what was happening to her - and the footage I was shown suggests she was.

M-Net production executive Carl Fischer defended the show's treatment of its contestants to me, saying television executives were not just bound by the laws of South Africa but also by the Big Brother rules, which he described as "tougher than the Constitution". Of course, that worthy document doesn't demand that South Africa's citizens sign away all rights to freedom and dignity.
