The Supreme Head of House, Tumi the Barber restores order in the house.
The Bazozwa house woke up to a serious reality check as Tumi the Barber called for a house meeting centred on one key issue: respect. Tumi felt the ongoing conversations around disrespect had dragged on for too long, and today needed to be the final chapter.
Addressing the housemates, Tumi the Barber spoke frankly about their general behaviour and how it was slowly sabotaging their chances of winning future wagers. “If you want respect, give it,” he said, urging housemates to hold themselves accountable. He also encouraged them to call out their friends when they cross the line, adding that cliques in the house have created space for bad behaviour to go unchecked.
What started as an open forum quickly escalated as housemates took turns airing their grievances. Thandeka set the tone when she directly called out Didi for repeatedly using alcohol as an excuse for provoking others in the house.
Que followed suit, accusing King Wanda and Mshefane of inserting themselves into issues that had nothing to do with them. King Wanda wasn’t having it, firing back that Que himself had a habit of provoking people and then playing innocent.
Tumi later weighed in on housemates meddling in relationships, advising everyone to mind their business when it comes to ships in the house. This appeared to reference Didi’s comments during Sunday’s live show with Smash, when she suggested that couples were making the show boring. Didi had also revisited the topic earlier in the day during a conversation with Ashay.

In a lighter moment, Ramona broke the tension by complaining about housemates who couldn’t sing ruining the peace of the early morning; a brief comedic pause in an otherwise intense discussion.
Biggie later switched things up with a likes-and-hashtags task that had housemates placing reactions on life-sized social media images of their fellow housemates. While it seemed fun on the surface, the task stirred unexpected emotions.
Buhle B received the least likes, and it clearly rattled her. Thandeka stepped in to reassure her, explaining that how people perceive you in the house doesn’t define who you are. She shared that she, too, struggled early on due to false narratives spread about her.
“It stings, I’m not going to lie,” Buhle B admitted after receiving just one like. She was tagged with the hashtags #SilentKiller and #YouAreDimmingYourLight, which only deepened her emotional response. Thandeka reminded her that house dynamics don’t always reflect how viewers feel outside, a sentiment Ramona echoed as she offered her support.
Diary room reflections
In the diary room, housemates shared more personal thoughts about their experiences:
Neliswa – “I’m enjoying this light-hearted puppy relationship we are having.”
Neliswa described her situationship with The Don as a “light-hearted puppy relationship,” clearly enjoying the moment.
King Wanda – “I don’t like bad blood. It doesn’t sit well with my spirit.”
King Wanda admitted that bad blood doesn’t sit well with him, explaining his efforts to squash his issues with Que.
Buhle B – “There are energy vampires in this house who just drain you.”
Buhle B didn’t mince words, calling out Didi and Mashel as “energy vampires,” claiming most of their conversations revolved around gossip.
Ashay – “We have a shared experience.”
Ashay reflected on his shared experience with Liema, noting that both have partners outside the house.
Liema – “I am feeling drained.”
Liema kept it short but honest, admitting that she’s feeling drained by the house environment.
