“Being on that platform gets you to explore many different sides of yourself.

“I went in to explore those situations and see what I was capable of. I wanted to showcase my presentation skills, because I want to get into sports broadcasting.”

His love for sport stems from his school days.

“I enjoyed public speaking from an early age and realised broadcasting would be something I would enjoy.”

The 24-year-old contestant from Qonce said being on the show had been memorable.

“Every Thursday we had tasks. One highlight was getting the lead role on talk shows, hosting a podcast, which gave me a taste of the life I want to live“I have no regrets; I did all that I should and all I could have done.”

Kotobe said his calm, loving, and warm personality came from a combination of his parents.

“People see my dad in me — my mom is extremely loving; you know how Xhosa moms are. I carry both their personalities.”

He built a close bond with hometown girl Liyema Pantsi, and their love was applauded by many.

Pantsi’s journey ended a few weeks back, after Big Brother made her to choose between the money and staying in the game. She chose the money.

“My relationship with Liyema is great. She came to see me last night [Monday] and we spoke a bit about our plans and how we intend moving forward. Our relationship is still good.”Kotobe said he was grateful for the team that backed him on the show.

“I appreciate and love each member of the team.

His advice after the show: “Go out there and be bold, go there with a strong mentality because your mental health will be tested, be respectful of the people around you.

“Take note of how you treat other people. Go out there with a goal and a mission.”
