ON Wednesday night, the friendship between Sharon and Millicent seemed headed for the deathbed as the two East African girls got into a fist fight that ended with Millicent in tears.
It was time to celebrate music from Africa with performances to drumbeats and when Sharon teamed up with Millicent to perform a song in Luganda, the Kenyan girl couldn’t get the words properly.
Sharon rapped her for butchering Luganda (what a reason for a confrontation, given Millicent is Kenyan!) and despite Zeus’s trying to remind Sharon that it was time for music and not languages, Sharon could not cease fire.
The end had Millicent going outside to cry to the consolations of Hanni and Vimbai. And it looked like the East African girls’ friendship would be no more, for despite their several previous fights over small issues never had one sent the other tearing.
Come yesterday morning, Sharon used the downtime between exercise and the morning shower to reconstruct her bridges with her best friend. She sat Millicent down and admitted that what she did on Wednesday night was wrong and she didn’t do it deliberately.
“I’m sorry if I offended you my friend. I was just waiting for you to calm down, which is why I decided to talk to you today,†Sharon said.
Now what might seem a simple apology seems to be doing wonders for the Ugandan, who definitely has been in dire need to up her continental ratings since only Uganda voted for her last week.
Yesterday on the BBA channel’s message stream, on the Bigbrother website and on its Facebook page, the whole of Africa lauded Sharon’s apology calling it a humane and gentle gesture. For the first time Sharon was being commended from all corners.
Sharon has already indicated her hopes of making it to the top three when she said that she expects to stand last alongside her buddies Millicent and Hanni.
Meanwhile, Nigeria’s Vina and Zimbabwe’s Vimbai on their part are turning into real nemeses. Vina on Tuesday night told some housemates not to trust Vimbai, and when Alex took the words back to Vimbai, the Zimbabwean accosted the Nigerian, and after Vina was left in tears both girls squashed suggestions from other housemates that they sort out their differences. We watch the space.
