“It was what I had said to Illano, we have reconciled, spoken about it and I apologised; and we are yet to have another conversation, a proper one in private and more apologies. It doesn’t matter even if I was provoked, I should not have said that. Nobody made me say anything, at that moment and time I wanted to say that, it doesn’t make it the right thing,” she said.

When asked about Liema’s win, she said she is happy for her, but they are from different seasons.
“She is a redemption, she gave up on herself last time. I am a riser regardless of how I felt, I didn’t think I had so much love but I stayed it out, because I said ‘because I’m in here it means clearly there is someone who wants me to be me, because they know that I won’t stop being me’. If you don’t want me, then you gonna have to kick me out.
“So I’m the Bazozwa Queen and I am happy for her, girl I am happy for you; but you are from S’yamosha and I’m the Queen of Bazozwa,” said Thandeka.
