Big Brother Mzansi (BBMzansi) housemates are on their third day in the mysterious mansion and already, Acacia, is rubbing fans the wrong way for some reason.
BBMzansi housemates: Why fans aren’t taking to Acacia
Acacia, real name Thando Mati, is a 30-year-old model from Soweto, GP.. Her ambition, much like 17 of her housemates, is to win the BBMzansi prize money at all cost and as a dedicated foodie, she would use the millions to “open a restaurant that only serves everything that she likes.”
The Sowetan model doesn’t hide the fact that, more than anything, she embodies community and togetherness.
Perhaps, her outlook on her performance on the 24/7 reality TV show reveals much about her strategy going into the mansion which, ironically, is to be relatable.
“I don’t want to be seen as a slay queen – I have my days where I look bougie and I’ve got my days where I look like I’m going to the corner shop. I want the girl from eZola to relate to me, and I want the girl in Sandton to relate to me,” she said.
However, for some reason, the ‘girl next door’ approach did not bode well for the 30-year-old, or, at least, not in the opinion of fans.
Here are a few thoughts on Acacia from BBMzansi fans:

Acacia is beginning to be the reason why people are talking about the show with her stories that’s why the camera is stuck on her 😂#BBMzansi

Of course, as much as it true that fans have wielding powers to either save or evict BBMzansi housemates, Acacia still has the opportunity to skirt elimination.
Remember, the Head of the House which, in Week 1, is Tulz, is immune from elimination. The same can’t be said about the rest of the BBMzansi housemates, however.
Thursday’s Wager Task will put the contestants through their paces and, ultimately, determine two things:
- the fate of their weekly income; and
- the weak links in the group.
Tulz, who, as the head of the house, opted for a more democratic approach in his decision-making could be liable if the group fails to execute Thursday’s challenge.
Acacia, on the other hand, is one of the few housemates who have taken the first task seriously.
It remains to be seen what her fate will be when the day of elimination comes this Sunday.
