The wait is finally over! After an intense season of twists, turns and dramatic surprises, the winner of “Big Brother Mzansi” season 5 has been announced.

Sweet Guluva, whose real name is Akhonamathemba Mbele, has walked away with the title as well as the R2 million grand prize.

The 23-year-old was charismatic, charm and resilient from the moment he entered the house, earning him legions of fans. 

With his blend of creativity, charm and determination, Guluva captivated the audience and outdid his fellow housemates.

Of course, the competition was fierce and the other top four housemates Jojo, Nate, Nsuku, and Uyanda gave it their all. Each brought their own strengths and strategies to the game, making this heated season one to remember.

Jojo, the underdog mastermind, shocked everyone with her strategic gameplay. She made it to the finale after controlling the game like a chess master. No one saw her coming but she proved all her doubters wrong.

Meanwhile, Nate played her game silently but effectively, as a silent instigator. She stirred the pot from behind the scenes, strategically placing people where she wanted them. Some housemates saw her stunts from the beginning and the others caught on late but her game was well played, which placed her in the top five.

Nsuku proved to be an unbreakable force, showcasing her resilience and confidence. Her unique entry into the house, where she was chosen by fellow housemates, didn't hinder her from quickly establishing herself as a confident and outspoken individual.

And Uyanda, the fighter, was relentless in his pursuit of the crown. It’s undeniable that he fought from the very beginning, showing determination and courage. If there’s one thing Uyanda did during his stay in the Big Brother house, it’s to show just how badly he wanted the crown. 

But in the end, the viewers decided and chose Sweet Guluva as the ultimate winner.
