Big Brother Africa: Face to face with Justice AFRICA has spoken.

On Sunday, Botswana’s Justice became the first housemate voted out of the Big Brother house.

Viewers across the continent had to choose between Kenya’s Jeff and Botswana’s Justice to leave. In a seven to six vote, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania and Zimbabwe voted to evict Justice.His country, Botswana, along with Angola, Nigeria, Uganda, Zambia and the rest of Africa voted for Jeff.In a short telephonic interview with Justice yesterday, NATASHA UYS found out what the diminutive Motswana has planned for the immediate future.How does it feel to be out of the BBA2 house and back in the real world? I feel fantastic.Like a bird that has been set free.Why did you initially decide to enter BBA2? I needed a platform from which to launch myself.I have been very involved in debating in Botswana and I wanted a chance to promote debating across the whole of Africa.On several occasions in the house, you mentioned that you wanted to leave.Why did you feel that you wanted to leave the game so soon? I really felt that I had played my part and at a certain point I had just had enough.I just wanted out.How do you feel about being the first person evicted from the show? I feel great.I’m the first person out which means that I can grab all the best opportunities.What do you have planned now that you are evicted? I have lots of plans.Firstly I need to simply sit down and reflect on this experience.I have plans to write a book about my experiences inside the Big Brother house.I would also like to set up an NGO organisation that will promote debating in Africa and finally I would like to make the most of any opportunities that come my way.Immediately though, I am looking forward to meeting my fans and spending some time with my family and friends.Which housemate would you like to keep in touch with? I think I will keep in touch with all of them but Maxwell has expressed an interest in working on a specific project with me, so definitely Maxwell.Do you have any regrets about the way you played the game? If you could, would you change anything you said or did? No.I don’t have any regrets whatsoever.I feel that I played the game to the best of my ability.I spoke my mind and even if I did have some differences with people in the house – those have all been sorted out and we have moved on.Speaking of differences, would you care to elaborate on the issue with Meryl? Well, something was said to me in the heat of the moment which I felt was very offensive.I still feel that Biggie was not fair in the way that he dealt with the situation.I feel that he should have issued Meryl with a warning of some kind …but at the end of the day it is all water under the bridge.I have no hard feelings towards Meryl.In fact I respect her a lot and she is overall a wonderful person and a great cook.Do you think that you might have blown the whole issue out of proportion a little? No.Where I come from I would never say what she said to anyone.I felt it was a very offensive thing to say.Some might say that you were the architect of your own demise, that your stubbornness caused you to be voted out of the house…Well, people are entitled to their opinions.I just think it was my time to go.It was tough being in the house.What did you learn about yourself throughout this whole experience? I think the main thing that I learned is that I need to accommodate other people more.Each person has their own opinions and set of values that are different from mine.I have learned that I need to accept people for who they are.Were you shocked to find that your so-called allies, Jeff and Richard, nominated you while Meryl, who you had a huge disagreement with, did not? I was shocked but at the end of the day I don’t hold it against them.I’m sure that they had their reasons for voting me out.As for Meryl, while she did not nominate me, she could have chosen to save me but she didn’t.In a seven to six vote, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania and Zimbabwe voted to evict Justice.His country, Botswana, along with Angola, Nigeria, Uganda, Zambia and the rest of Africa voted for Jeff.In a short telephonic interview with Justice yesterday, NATASHA UYS found out what the diminutive Motswana has planned for the immediate future.How does it feel to be out of the BBA2 house and back in the real world?
