BIG BROTHER AFRICA MONDAY 9 AUG 2010

I have been Crying my eyes out for the last couple of hours.

For those of us who have been glued to watching BBA All Stars , UTI lost his dad today. I got home after 7pm.. BiG Brother gave the housemates a task. In South Africa today is Celebrated as Women's Day. The task of the Male housemates was to serenade the ladies with a Special Women s Day Task. The men cooked, sang, CODE played the guitar, YACOB took charge as the leader. Each man  made a speech on their appreciation of Women. Each speech was poignant, moving and had all the ladies in tears. CODE was strumming the guitar in the background.  The women were so moved that each and every one of them gave a speech back in appreciation of the men. Then Paloma said a prayer for UTI s Dad ......

Meanwhile back in the barn, Lerato and Hannington held each other in a tight embrace crying while they watched the other housemates on Live TV

(weep... weep.. still weeping..)

For those of us that have lost a parent we know exactly what UTI s is going through right now.

May God grant his family the strength to bear the loss Amen

I have a deeper appreciation for UTI. i think the fact that he is the last born and has four sisters means he respects women. He also graduated Top of his Class at University.

YACOB  has settled in and has great leadership skills. He also seems to be very mature. And a true gentleman. seeing HANNINGTON crying like a child while he was watching the other housemates on TV showed his sensitive side. Even though he bonked his EX girlfriend and her mum, I have forgiven him
