Mpendulo Dube Addresses Eviction, Criticism and Future Plans

When Mpendulo Dube was evicted from Big Brother Mzansi, he described the moment as significant, particularly because he had previously failed to secure enough votes to enter the house in an earlier season.

Speaking to Independent Online (IOL) after his eviction, Dube reflected on what it meant to finally make it onto the show. “It wasn’t just my dream anymore,” he said. “Other people believed I could be on the show and wanted to see it happen.” He explained that missing out previously had been disappointing, but being voted in this time made him feel accountable to the viewers who supported him.

During his time in the house, Dube served as Head of House and introduced a rule requiring each housemate to wash their own dishes. The decision was initially met with resistance. In his interview with IOL, he said, “The next day, the same people who were rebellious were washing their plates,” describing the shift he observed after enforcing the rule.

He also addressed criticism circulating on social media about comments suggesting he had referred to himself as an “A-lister.” In an interview with News24, Dube denied assigning himself that label. “If I was going to say something like that, it would sound like something in my lingo,” he said, maintaining that the remark had been taken out of context.

Looking ahead, Dube confirmed that he plans to return to complete his third year in digital arts. Speaking to SowetanLIVE, he made it clear that long-term plans extend beyond reality television exposure. “Being a celebrity isn’t my end goal,” he said. “I want to create, learn and motivate others to do the same.”

In the same SowetanLIVE interview, Dube also spoke about his connection with fellow housemate Kokii Beuzana and mentioned plans for a “kota date” now that he is out of the house. While he did not define what the relationship might become, he indicated that he is open to seeing how it develops outside the reality television environment.

For Dube, the eviction marked the end of his run on the show, but in his words, it has not changed his intention to build on the visibility the platform provided.
