THE FUSE

Award-winning influencer and artist Liyema Pantsi has officially been crowned the winner of Big Brother Mzansi Season 6: Bazozwa. The announcement was made on Sunday, 22 March 2026, bringing the exciting season to a memorable close.

Liyema’s victory comes as no surprise to many viewers, as she quickly became a fan favourite during her time in the house. Her journey on the show has been one of growth, resilience, and strong support from her loyal fan base, known as the “lilies.”

This win marks a full-circle moment for Liyema, who first appeared on Big Brother Mzansi Season 4: S’ya Mosha.

Following her victory, Liyema took to Instagram to express her gratitude to her supporters. In a heartfelt message, she reflected on her journey and thanked those who stood by her from the beginning until the end.

“This journey started on the 4th of January, and if we’re being honest, a lot of us didn’t know what to expect. But that scripture kept ringing in our hearts — ‘I know the thoughts I think towards you, thoughts of good and not of evil.’

Through it all, God used LLF to remind us that He wasn’t done with Liema. This second chance wasn’t by accident – it had a purpose.

Thank you to every single person who stood by her, even when it didn’t look good. You didn’t move, you didn’t fold… you stayed. And because of that, we witnessed the growth, the strength, the evolution.

You carried her on your shoulders and never let her fall. We see you, we appreciate you, and we’re deeply grateful. This win was personal for every single one of us… and the lilies showed up and delivered.”

Since her return to the Big Brother Mzansi house, Liyema has shown determination and confidence, which ultimately led to her taking home the title. Her journey has inspired many viewers, especially those who have followed her story from the beginning.

With her Big Brother Mzansi Season 6 win, Liyema Pantsi has not only secured the title but also strengthened her place as one of South Africa’s rising stars. Fans are now eagerly waiting to see what she will do next as she steps into this new chapter of her career.
