Newly discovered entrepreneurs: Nhlanhla and JJ

 

With the task in progress and housemates furiously working on their individual posters, Nhlanhla and JJ engage in a deep and meaningful conversation.

It was perhaps fate that they were seated next to each other whilst executing their different tasks. The conversation developed and became quickly intense between the housemates.

They spoke about their individual careers and hopes for the future. Whilst speaking on JJ's career of acting, they both agreed that it was demanding and required one to be passionate and devoted in the art- Nhlanhla even alluded to how Beyonce Knowles (American RnB artist) forgot when last she had had a meal because she was so busy! They continued motivating each other with JJ saying that Nhlanhla should definitely pursue his law degree as he was still fairly young.

Upon JJ sharing his interest and background in farming, Nhlanhla exclaimed that he and JJ were meant to meet, insinuating that they will partner up in future projects. Nhlanhla also shared that he has a passion for farming, and not just for the present moment but sustainably for the future as well.

The conversation went on to healthy eating and the politics of having a leadership that enforces laws to ensure that suppliers produce foods that don’t carry any kind of poisoning.

With these two establishing a business-inspired relationship, could it result in a formidable alliance against the other housemates? Or will it distract the both of them from their strategies if any? Will the conversation they had come up again and develop soon?

JJ From Zimbabwe

 

Jerome, JJ, Age: 23

JJ calls himself 'an entertainer' on the back of his work as a singer, rapper, actor, songwriter and director. He entered Big Brother Hotshots because of the platform the show provides.

He says that viewers can expect to be entertained and to have him for a gym partner every morning. If he wins the money, he'll fix up his parents' house, work on his first international album and donate some money to charity.

JJ loves Italian and Japanese food, his favourite book is Shakespeare's Macbeth. His favourite musicians includes Stevie Wonder, Kanye West and MiCasa's J.Something. He loves the film American Gangster, which stars his favourite actor Denzel Washington.

He believes that the best thing about Africa is that "the people are all full of life". He loves Inyaga in Zimbabwe, and hopes to return to Manchester in England, "home of the greatest football club and where I found my feet and my passion", he says.

JJ prefers the company of ladies and has had his heart broken a couple of times. The charming Zimbabwean enjoys cooking and for his strategy he will choose to let his personality entertain viewers.
