Nigeria is Lagos, and she says the best thing about Africa is its cultural
diversity. Outside her home country, she’d like to visit California for the
opportunities she believes it would provide her to improve her career.
Lilian’s role model is Oprah
Winfrey, because of her strength, and the person who has most influenced her
life is her mother, ‘because she has always believed in me and encouraged me to
follow my dreams’.

Luis says his favourite place
in Namibia is the river beds in his home town of Rundu, ‘where the mighty

is ‘the diverse cultures – however different, every single one is somehow
relatable by being connected to the next one’. He calls Los Angeles ‘the city
of dreams where anybody can make it, given the right amount of perseverance and
correct hustle’.
His role models are his
parents because they had the biggest influence on his life. ‘They took care of
not only my siblings and I, but also my cousins, grandmother and their own
siblings,’ he says. ‘They taught me spiritual values from infancy – those
values have brought me this far in life’. He’s most proud of the achievement of
graduating from university while being Namibia’s top male international model.
Luis entered Big Brother Hotshots because Namibia has
never been represented by anyone from the Okavango region before. ‘I’d be
grateful to tell my story to Africa – hopefully it inspires many others with a
similar past,’ he says. He’s excited to have the whole continent watching him
andIf he wins the grand prize, Luis will build a film and television studio in
Namibia.

Africa is its history: ‘it’s so rich with history of what our forefathers have
gone through’. South Africa is her favourite place outside of Botswana because
she has ‘met great people there who have become family. They also have a range
of interesting official languages’, which are similar to those in Botswana.
Goitse says she entered Big Brother Hotshots for the adventure.
‘People from different countries in Africa, all under one roof, no contact with
the outside world in any way? Now that’s amazing!’ she says. In her quest for
the prize, she won’t pretend to be someone she’s not and if she wins, she’ll
use the money to open a dance studio. ‘That will be a dream come true,’ she
says. ‘I haven’t decided on what else’.
She says her mom is her role
model – ‘she’s a fighter and a survivor. She’s been through a lot of hardships,
but she stands tall and strong. She always pushed me to be the best I can be,
no matter how challenging it can get’.

‘carefree, free-spirited, fun, energetic and motivated’.
