Ten thousand dollars each for seven finalists of the BBA?
That's too good to be true, you would say, and guess what, you wouldn't be off mark.
It was just a rumour, says Malawi's rep in the BBA, Lomwe.
"I heard about the $10, 000 but the organisers briefed the finalists saying it was all a rumour," Lomwe, aka Tendai Namate, told journalists after he arrived back home on Wednesday to a tumultuous welcome.
If you were at Chileka airport or saw the 10-car convoy, you would have thought a VIP had just landed. His mother Jane Namate-Nsanjama, Multichoice officials, friends, relatives and supporters gave Lomwe a welcome befitting a celebrity.
Lomwe, riding in an open roof Chevy Escalade, a limousine owned by business tycoon Mike Chilewe, waved a huge Malawi flag at the adoring fans.
Lomwe said he had no qualms with Karen sweeping the stakes, but had reservations about Wendall, saying South Africa's Luclay should have won the ultimate prize.
On Zambia's Kimberley – they locked lips on the show as lovers do – he said he didn't have "serious emotions" for her.
It was just a strategy, the ladies' man said.
