BBA: Mwisho’s dad, mum express different feelings

She said she doesn’t find the BBA event entertaining at all and, not even a good reality show since what the entire participants did was just to eat, drink but used bad language.“They eat and drink until they get sick, what for?

She said she doesn’t find the BBA event entertaining at all and, not even a good reality show since what the entire participants did was just to eat, drink but used bad language.
“They eat and drink until they get sick, what for? Entertainment? No, it doesn’t even fit in the realm of entertainment movies. Better to watch a movie because there are so many good ones,” she stressed.
But as a mother, she acknowledges that grown up children should decide for themselves what’s good for them. Nevertheless, her opinion is that the BBA show “spoils African youth.”
“Children of this generation are not like those of our times. If you shout at them they will shout back,” she explains.
Despite her disapproval, she reminds that her son is now 30 years old and capable of making his own decision.
Her assessment is that BBA participants are called a few days before the event and given personalities to ape while in the house to make the show attractive. “Because I don’t believe Sheila is a bisexual, and that Tatiana can date a lot of men. Above all, that programme spread hate among African youths; it doesn’t keep them united, you can see it in the voting texts,” she said.
Mwisho’s father Dr. Ephrahim Njawalla, an Engineer by profession, has a different opinion.
He is happy about his son’s participation in the BBA. “That is his way of life, because even if I would have told him to stay if he wanted to go he would have just gone,” he said.
Dr. NJawalla said he and his family voted for Mwisho every day, and he also asked friends and relatives to vote for him. “But I can’t say that he was going to win and besides I am not a witchdoctor.”
Mwisho’s elder brother Ysambi Mwampamba who works with a tobacco company in Morogoro thinks Uti and Munya stood in the way of his brother.
“You can imagine Uti didn’t even go for his father’s burial ceremony,” says Ysambi, who is Mwisho sibling in addition to their younger sister married in Mexico.
Reflecting further, Mwisho’s mother said the BBA event nonetheless has a magical stranglehold on some youths.
She recalled that one of the competitors, Munya, reportedly had to leave his one day-old baby son with its mother alone because he had to attend the event.
The huge cash prize is also a magnet to participate, according to Mwisho’s mother.
She recalled Zambian girl Cherise Makubale who reportedly cried so much (apparently after she was evicted) because she said she was a poor girl whose father is white and living in Africa.
“A man who is white doesn’t live in Africa just for nothing unlike a white woman. I have been in Tanzania for sometime but I couldn’t work because I had a problem with my citizenship and I didn’t know Swahili,” reflects Mwisho’s mother.
Mwisho has a daughter, Kelly Mwampamba, five, who doesn’t seem to comprehend everything but supports her father. She says: “I like my dad and he is going to win.” The jolly girl is an offspring of Mwisho’s past romantic relationship.
But the parents say they will continue to guide their son to be a better person. “You know money isn’t what makes people happy, it depends on how one plans to spend it. What if he spoils himself with it?” wondered the BBA star’s mother.
Then came the sensitive question:  Are the family and friends ready to receive Mwisho’s new catch – Meryl?
Mwisho’s mother believes the two lovebirds are not serious. “I think they just did it to attract more viewers and get votes from them.”
However Mr. Mwampamba, who has been separated from Mwisho’s mother for many years, said he would have no quarrel and is ready to bless the union if his son wanted to take it further and real.
