Recently evicted Mmeli Khumalo may be out of the Big Brother Mzansi house, but his support for his girlfriend, Thandeka, remains unwavering as the Season 6 finale approaches.

Speaking to Sowetan on Monday morning, the 27-year-old from Hillbrow, Johannesburg, expressed his hopes that the often polarising housemate; who divided viewers this season; will ultimately walk away with the title.

While audiences frequently perceived Mmeli as Thandeka’s “handbag”, a label he is yet to know when he gets his phone tomorrow, he maintains that their bond was sincere rather than strategic.
