THE FUSE

Big Brother Ilano has officially become the latest housemate to be evicted from Big Brother Mzansi S6 Bazozwa. While her journey inside the house has come to an end, she made sure to leave with a heartfelt message to the fans who supported her every step of the way.

Ilano was the only one out of this week’s nine nominated housemates to be evicted, officially confirming this season’s Top 10. The remaining contestants — Ashay, Bravo B, Didi, King Wanda, Liema, Mmeli, Que, Thandeka, The Don, and Trixie, are now one step closer to the grand prize as the competition grows even more intense.

As the show’s first transgender housemate, Ilano made a lasting impression during her time in the house. She entered the competition with confidence and used the platform to express herself freely.

Shortly after her eviction on Sunday, Ilano took to her social media to thank her supporters in an emotional message. She wrote:

“Dear Gadlaza Nation and everyone who loves entertainment, Firstly, thank you for your unwavering dedication and support for llano.

Being part of Big Brother Mzansi was truly a blessing for llano, she wanted this and it was evident. As we all witnessed, she used the platform to showcase her incredible talents, vibrant energy, and to proudly represent the LGBTIQ+ community in the best way she knew how. She remained authentic, fearless, and unapologetically herself throughout.

Your encouragement, your votes, your messages, and your unwavering belief in her are what made this experience so meaningful.
