Big Brother Mzansi season 3 housemate Themba Mabaso has launched a GoFundMe account to kickstart his business after failing to win the R2 million cash prize on the reality show.
Themba was a favourite to win the show. So when he lost, many were surprised and even shocked. Mpho Wabadimo had won the price while Gash1 came second.
His fans, who were grieved that he didn’t win, urged him to open a GoFundMe account so they could make donations to him to launch the businesses he’d always wanted to.
After an appearance on Alex Radio, it became apparent that he isn’t opposed to the idea of crowdfunding his dreams. His fans, called Ghostnation, hurriedly banded and started making donations to the account.
Themba is a tattoo artist and musician. According to him, he’d put songs out there, but they weren’t successful. He’d also opened a tattoo parlour in collaboration with his friend, but it burned down in 2013.
He’d failed in a couple of things and was consumed by negativity at some point. However, his selection to participate in the Big Brother Mzansi reality show brought him optimism.
The show is over, and he didn’t win the prize, which would have put him back in business. But then his fans are rallying to bring him the rand.
