Malawi’s BBA Hotshot Sipe to promote Agriculture issues and wants to start Acting as career

The last woman standing in this year’s show Big Brother Hotshots Sipe intends to spearhead issues of agriculture particularly on changing people’s mindset and negative perceptions they have on agriculture.

Sipe whose real name is Sipherile Chitambo says was inspired by message from Africa’s well known artists Fally Ipupa and Diamond Platnumz who entered the house and spoke passionately to the Hotshots about making agriculture sexy and encouraging the youth to get involved with looking after and living off their land.

Sipe said this upon arrival through Kamuzu International Airport on Wednesday evening from South Africa where she stayed for 63 days in the Big Brother house.

“I have so many things that I want to do…, and I cannot wait to see what opportunities will present themselves for me.  But mostly am going hard on agriculture because I still feel that both men women and youth should do more on that.” Said Sipe “Because as much as we would think that it is just agriculture, it is a future for everyone and we need to move forward”

She lamented that foreign agro-product traders are ones benefiting from agriculture because they come to buy agriculture products then back to their countries to process them into various products and pack them and later sell the products back to Malawi at unaffordable price to the farmer.

“This is one thing I learned in the house and this is a thing that I would really want emphasize on. I would talk about this and push it as hard as possible.” She said

She said the show has impacted her life greatly and would like to take acting as her career. She said the passion came when she felt pleased with herself after performing a task involving writing a play script which she acted upon.

 “I feel this season was more about talent and challenging one to do something. I never knew I could be a comedian but Big Brother show gave me a platform to act. The show played a major role to my life” she said

Sipe also mentioned that her experience in the Big Brother house was a mixture of good moments and bad moments. But thanked fans for keeping voting for her till the last day and said though she failed to win the money she is still a happy person.

Chimwemwe Nyirenda  a Multichoice Marketing Manager commended Sipe for representing well her country by displaying good manners and expose Malawian culture to Africa and the world.

Nyirenda encouraged Malawians to vote for their representatives during these games for Malawi to have more chances of winning Big Brother money one day adding that supporting neighboring countries will also help in forming a regional block of supporting a candidate who might one day be a Malawian housemate.

“This year’s show had mixed reactions” said Nyirenda, he mentioned the change of the house which he said affected a lot of things including reducing number of days from 90 day show to only 63 days and the losing the money by Malawi contestant who reached the final stage of the competition.

“So next year it will be now tenth season of Big Brother so obviously when ten is a magic number we expect a lot o changes but next year the show will be back and I think this time around the show might be bigger and probably the biggest ever” assured Nyirenda

Natasha also known as Mama Africa a Malawi’s former Big Brother housemate came to welcome Sipe and encouraged people to vote for contestants and not just watching the show and criticizing their representatives.

A Tanzanian housemate Idris emerged the winner of 9^th Season of Big Brother Africa show which ended on Sunday December 7. Malawian housemates Sipe and Mr.265 failed to bring home $300,000 prize.

This coming Friday there will be a welcoming party for Sipe at Amazon in Lilongwe and on Saturday there will be another event in Blantyre.
