Loading player...

Recently evicted Mmeli Khumalo may be out of the Big Brother Mzansi house, but his support for his girlfriend, Thandeka, remains unwavering as the Season 6 finale approaches.

Speaking to Sowetan on Monday morning, the 27-year-old from Hillbrow, Johannesburg, expressed his hopes that the often polarising housemate; who divided viewers this season; will ultimately walk away with the title.
