Marcia “Cia” Morata Becomes First Housemate to Exit Big Brother Mzansi Season 6
Marcia “Cia” Morata has officially become the first housemate to leave Big Brother Mzansi Season 6: Bazozwa, just days after the show’s launch on 11 January 2026.
The organisers of Big Brother Mzansi , the MultiChoice Group, a CANAL+ company, confirmed Cia’s exit after she indicated that she was not feeling well, prompting immediate intervention by the show’s support team.
The day began with Cia, a 30 year old, Mamelodi based breaking down in tears, struggling emotionally as fellow housemate Ofentse attempted to understand what was troubling her. However, her hesitation to open up led to a tense moment when Ofentse grew impatient and asked her to speak when she felt ready.
Later, Cia admitted that she had been coming to a difficult realisation, that she felt like a guest in Biggie’s house and as though she was constantly being tested. Despite acknowledging these feelings, she continued to find it difficult to articulate herself, making her vulnerability one of the most visible in the house since the start of the season.
The previous day, Buhle B had offered her words of encouragement and comfort, but the reassurance appeared to be short-lived as Cia’s emotional struggles resurfaced.

In an official statement, the organisers confirmed her departure:
“Marcia ‘Cia’ Morata has left the Big Brother Mzansi: Bazozwa house. She is the first housemate to depart the show since its launch on 11 January 2026. On Thursday, Cia became emotional and started crying. Earlier this morning, following a scheduled yoga session, Cia indicated that she was not feeling well and approached Big Brother for assistance. She received immediate support and later met with the on-site psychologist for further assessment. Following this evaluation, and in the best interest of her wellbeing, the decision was made that she should leave the Big Brother Mzansi house. Cia will continue to receive the support she needs after leaving the competition.”
