Dillish to Dillrich in 91 days

She came, she saw, she conquered. The winner of Big Brother ‘The Chase’, Dillish with her grandfather Tate Mbumba and mother Selma Pashukeni Mancor when the feisty contestant arrived back home. Helena Peyavali ‘Dillish’ Mathews was welcomed by hundreds of fans. Dillish is the first-ever Namibian to win Big Brother Africa since the reality show started almost a decade ago. She battled 91 days of missing her family and friends as well being confined to four walls with only a few people to talk to and was nominated for eviction five times. She however pulled through and proved to be the favourite of Africa when she emerged victorious and walked away with US$300,000 last week Sunday when the reality show came to an end. The young University of Namibia Psychology student plans on building a house for her siblings and investing her winnings into her business. (Photograph by Melba Chipepo)
