Former BBA housemate from Tanzania, Mwisho Mwampamba, had what most people would call a happy ending, his romance with fellow housemate Meryl Shikwambane from Namibia, which was sparked during the show, had managed to go on even after the show, they got married and have two kids together.
There marriage had also prompted him(Mwisho) to relocate to Meryl’s home country in Namibia.

But it seems that their happy ending is now getting disrupted by a scourge that is common in South African countries, Xenophobia. The Tanzanian housemate took to his Facebook page to rant about the harassment he has been receiving:

“Now Namibia is independent I see xenophobia kicking in! Police come to my house and tell me I should go back to my country! Mistreatment at the border! I only get 2 months visa tho I’m sadc n married to a Namibian ! My question is where did all ur veterans come from? Exile kids ? U treat ur former colonisers better than u treat us ur liberators ! Its always embarrassing to see how now Namibians and south Africans tre”

He added that: “Namibians and South Africans treat us other Africans like monkeys now that ur independent!! Forgetting so soon how we helped u get independence even tho we were poor n hungry ourselves! Its ok we did coz it was the right thing to do not to get ur gratitude! But we do expect at least respect n to be treated as humans! Thot of all people u guys wud understand!”
