This is after Ghost lady caught blows from Thandeka, following her question on whether Thandeka regrets using the oven for her hair, and washing her face in the kitchen sink.

In response, Thandeka said: “There was never a wig in the oven, I would never put Cambodian 5ooo pounds hair in the oven; it would burn. It’s the only wig I’ve ever bought, you can’t put it in the oven. So that is not true.”

Thandeka further shared that this happened in their first week in the house, they didn’t have plugs. She said she had everything ready, including the air brush but she did not have the South African plug, because she had just travelled from Europe.

“In Big Brother, you are also supposed to look for solutions, so I opened the oven and I let the heat outside. I placed it on the actual door of it. So you can roll the footage and you will see that there was no wig in there. It doesn’t make sense. I don’t argue with things that are not logical. Can we think sometimes. In the oven, really now? Come on,” she said.

Ghost Lady asked Thandeka to address the matter softly. In response, she said: “I speak with diction, passion and I am allowed to be passionate. This is not about soft or whatever. I’m going to do it the Thandeka way, how you receive it is seems to be your own problem because there is no harm intended, just factual.”
