Big Brother Mzansi Season 4 has saddled pay-TV operator MultiChoice with another PR nightmare.
This week, contestant Eulanda "Yolanda" Monyai said that she wanted to "molest" another contestant.
The 32-year-old sales consultant and model's comments caused a stir on social media, resulting in the word "molest" trending as people debated what she may have meant by the remark.
On Friday evening, DStv's parent company announced her suspension from the Big Brother House.
"MultiChoice has investigated the matter regarding remarks made by a housemate on Big Brother Mzansi, which is currently airing on DStv channel 198. We do not condone any acts that threaten the safety of the housemates on the show, and we take Gender Based Violence seriously. Therefore, the housemate who made the threatening remarks (Yolanda) has been disqualified from the game."
According to viewers, Monyai is a repeat offender. She reportedly told her fellow housemates that she also wanted to rape another contestant, Sabelo "Papa Ghost" Ncube (who is related to sports broadcaster and Young, Famous & African star Andile Ncube).
"I'm going to go rape Ghost. I'm going to force myself into his bed," she told them during the 24-hour live broadcast.
Monyai follows contestant Bravo B (Lindokuhle Nsele), whose time in the Big Brother House ended after the first week. He was caught, on camera, conspiring to engage in sexual activity with other contestants who were drunk once they had fallen asleep.
Last month, the show's live broadcast was interrupted after a 10-hour electricity outage hit Linden, where the Big Brother House is located. The production team's generators also went offline, and alternative plans had to be made.
