Big Brother Mzansi has always sparked strong opinions long after seasons end, and a recent viral clip from former housemate Mshini (known as Mshini Lekwadu) has reignited conversations about entitlement, fan votes, and what it really means to “deserve” the crown. The footage, which has racked up massive views across platforms, shows Mshini in a candid, emotional live moment where she openly declares that she was the one who was supposed to win her season — and she has no problem saying it out loud.
The Viral Video: Mshini’s Unfiltered Take
In the clip, Mshini, wearing a bright pink bow headwrap, speaks directly to the camera with passion and hand gestures. She repeatedly asserts:
• “Thandeka was supposed to win” (referring to Thandeka Tshabalala from the just finished Season 6).
• “I WAS SUPPOSED TO WIN AND SO WHAT?”
• “You were also supposed to win… The truth is that I’m not the only one who won.”
She emphasizes that she’s “not shading anyone” and urges fans to give credit where it’s due, even if the person isn’t their favorite. Mshini argues that deep down, everyone knows who was “supposed to win,” but the game is ultimately decided by votes. She defends her right to voice this opinion, saying it’s not a bad thing and that people who attack her for it are simply coming for her profile.
The rant mixes English with local slang and gets increasingly animated as she addresses haters, talks about her pictures being used against her, and insists she’s living the life she wants. The energy is raw and unapologetic — classic Mshini style that fans either love or love to debate.
Fan Reactions: Mockery, Defense, and Thandeka Ties
The video has divided viewers. Many are laughing and calling it “delusional,” with comments like “Mshini was supposed to win with which votes?” and “She irritated us like a mosquito.” Others point out the irony, noting she’s now supporting Thandeka (nicknamed “Mshini oyi’shintshayo” in some circles) while claiming the same for herself.
Thandeka’s fans (Thalians) are using the clip heavily, tagging it with #ThandekaTheTopic and celebrating that even former housemates recognize Thandeka’s impact. At the same time, Liema supporters clapped back, reminding everyone that “Liema won because of votes — simple.”

Critics accused Mshini of lacking emotional intelligence and said statements like this are why some ex-housemates stay controversial. Supporters praised her for keeping it real and speaking her truth without apology.
