On Sunday, Ntombi and Ace walked away from the Big Brother house R2-million richer, while K2 and Blue had to contend with second place.

Now followers of the couple have taken it upon themselves to give them a financial boost.

An FNB savings account has been opened, and fans have been depositing amounts as high as R5000 and then posting their deposit slips on Facebook as proof.

One of the fans who spoke to Sowetan on condition of anonymity said they felt that K2 and Blue deserved to win the Big Brother Mzansi loot. "So they [fans] decided to donate money to them starting from R100.

"The admin who was handling K2 and Blue's social media account made contact with the couple's family members. And so far they have already started contributing to the FNB account provided by the couple."

 

Yesterday, a coy Blue admitted that an "adviser called Phumla" advised them to open the account. But she then contradicted herself by saying they had nothing to do with the money. "We have nothing to do with the money being deposited. The account is for our own business ventures.

"I'm appreciating the love from our fans, but we didn't solicit the cash."

Blue's partner K2 would not comment and passed the phone on to her.

Bongiwe Potelwa of Mzansi Magic said in a statement: "Mzansi Magic and Endemol Shine Africa distance themselves from the initiative. The two companies do not support or approve any initiative which asks the public to contribute monies to bank accounts of participants in any of their reality TV shows ."

In 2010, Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe gave his countryman Munyaradzi Chidzonga $300000 (R3.5-million) after he lost out to Nigerian Uti Nwachukwu.
