Feza Is My One and Only - Oneal

Botswana's evicted Big Brother Africa (BBA) housemate O'Neal Madumo has addressed speculation that was rife concerning whether or not he had a girlfriend before going to the BBA house.

Speaking with Showbiz, O'Neal said he didn't have a girlfriend before he went into the BBA house. He said: "I did not have a girlfriend before entering the BBA house. I don't know why that is hard to believe but it's the truth."

O'Neal said the fact that he was not romantically involved with anyone is what made it possible for him to start an in-house romance with Tanzanian housemate Feza Kessy.  He is hopeful the relationship will continue outside of the BBA house.  O'Neal's love interest, Feza, was evicted from the BBA house this past Sunday. When asked by the show host, IK, about her feelings for O'Neal, she did not hesitate to declare her love for him. She also said she has a few trust issues she needs to deal with, and hopes her and O'Neal can work on them now that they are both out of the game.

Speaking about his character, O'Neal said people wrongly perceive him as arrogant, when he is actually just an honest person. He said most people shy away from telling the truth, which is why he gets attention whenever he voices out his opinions.  He added and described his character as very unpredictable.  Furthermore, the frank speaking O'Neal said generally as a person, the one thing that appeals to him is intellect. He said: "There is something about it that gets my attention." He supported his statement and said that intellect expands the environment and allows one to go to places that many are not able to visit.

O'Neal further said that if given a chance to save one person, he would save himself because if he was to die he would not be able to protect his son. He said: "If something happens to me, it would not be good for my son because I would not be able to protect him. I have to protect the ones that I love."
