M-Net and Endemol SA have announced that due to recent developments, Rwanda has now been re-instated as a participating country in Big Brother Hotshots.
The re-instatement is as a result of the delay in production which led to adequate time being available to process the necessary documentation for the housemates to participate in the reality show.
“We would like to thank Rwandans and fans across the continent for their patience throughout this process. We wish Rwanda a spectacular debut onto Africa’s biggest reality show and in the build-up to the launch, fans can look forward to more housemates being revealed in anticipation to Big Brother Hotshots hitting the screens on Sunday, October 5,” reads a statement on Bigbrotherafrica Fan Club
Frankie Rukundo and Arthur Nkusi have since been revealed as the official representatives of Rwanda in Africa’s most watched television reality show, Big Brother Africa.
Arthur Nkusi is a comedian/radio presenter who describes himself as ‘funny, humorous and humble’. He says he loves the fact that he is social and makes friends easily. He enjoys people who are humble, and dislikes people who are irresponsible.
Frankie Rukundo on the other hand is a singer, model and actor with a degree in financial management. His favourite food is ugali with beef stew and his favourite book is Nelson Mandela’s Long Walk To Freedom.
Frankie enjoys the music of Joe Luther Vandross and Morgan Heritage and he says he loves “epic movies and romantic comedies”. Outside of the continent, he says that Canada is his favourite destination because of all the opportunities there, but also because his son Taye was born there.
