Zimbabwe – Butterphly
Age: 24
Butterphly is a radio, television presenter and producer from Harare. She lists her favourite food as meat, pasta with cheese, black-eyed peas and eggs. Her favourite books include the Bible, The Firm, The Long Goodbye and the Sherlock Holmes series. She likes to watch Chopped, 24, Intelligence and Big Brother Africa.
Butterphly entered Big Brother Hotshots because she’d always wanted to be part of a national sports team, but never got the chance.
“Being on Big Brother Africa will allow me to take the opportunity to market myself and expand my brand.”
She says she won’t use ‘backstabbing and cheating’ or immoral and unethical methods to get the prize. If she wins, she’ll send her sister, brother and kids to really good schools, start a chain of unique food, social and fashion hangout joints and take her mom shopping.
Describing herself as ‘unique, feisty, mysterious, fun-loving and witty’, Butterphly says that people are always shocked when they discover that she’s humble, compassionate and kind. She likes other people with a sense of humour, honour and truthfulness, and dislikes ‘dishonesty and people who pretend to like a person’.
Her mom is her role model: “She put her life on pause so ours could play. She’s the hardest working woman I know”.
Butterphly says he draws influence from ‘all sorts of people’.
“Ordinary, young, dead, legends — in everyone’s life story, I try to extract important lessons like resilience, faith, strength etc. I learn as much as I can from the people I meet or read about,” she says.
