On Friday, Liema shared that she had decided to stay in the house.

She said: “I have decided to stay because I am honestly doing this for them [her family] and for my grandmother.

“I don’t think she would want me to leave. She would want me to stay strong and continue the game and focus. So, I am going to do that.”

Liema is one of the six BBMzansi housemates, alongside Lerato Modise, Mich, Pale, PapaGhost, and Yolanda nominated for possible eviction this week.
