A self-described “class clown”, Gugu says she has a very big personality, and stands for acceptance and non-judgement. Honest almost to her own detriment, she doesn’t like fake people. “I wear my heart on my sleeve – expect good vibes and a good time. But they mustn’t expect a pushover – I’m not the type to let anyone disrespect me.” That said, she says she’s something of a cry-baby. “I’m a soft thug.”

She says that she didn’t expect to be selected for Big Brother Mzansi, “but now that I’m here, I want to help my mother with the family”. She says she has multiple strategies to get ahead in the House, but she won’t know which ones to implement until she’s inside.

She likes getting tattoos, dancing and “going out for chilled vibes”.
