The curtains for the popular TV show Big Brother Africa and this time comprising of former stars went down on the 17th of July with Nigeria's Uti taking the USD 200,000 and Munya coming close to taking the day as the race was tight with just a difference of one vote between Uti and Munya.

The moment was so sad for Munya who had literally been up for eviction and survived all the times he faced Africa only to come out as first runner up. No wonder he could not help tears from flowing down his cheeks.

The latest information we are getting from Zimbabwe is that Munya has come out of this whole process far richer than Uti. The President gave him US Dollars 200,000 as a consolation prize for loosing to Uti and businessmen contributed another US Dollars 100,000 making Munya 100,000 US Dollars richer than Nigeria's Uti.

Another local Indian company dealing in Gold gave him a ring worth US Dollars 20,000 and appointed him a diamond ambassador just because he carried himself as the diamond boy while in the house. Code Sangala from Malawi said, "Being named the diamond ambassador is a milestone for great things to come."

The celebrity status that comes with being a reality TV star is short lived for many who may sit back an lay on their pillows but Munya is certainly not one of them.
