The Big Brother Mzansi house was buzzing with tension and intrigue as the housemates embarked on a mission to solve the mystery of the stolen ice cream. The question on everyone's lips was simple: who was behind the ice cream heist?

As the investigation unfolded, the housemates were quick to point fingers and deflect blame. Uyanda, known for his innocent humour, jokingly suggested that four ninjas were responsible for the missing ice cream but couldn't understand why since it was an affordable treat. However, not everyone was buying into the ninja theory.

Meanwhile in the bedroom, Swiss was determined to get to the bottom of the mystery. In a private conversation with Mshini, Swiss demanded to know the truth about the missing ice cream. Mshini confessed that she wasn't the only one who had indulged in the treat. Philile, it turned out, was also guilty of devouring the ice cream.

But that wasn't all. Mshini revealed that Ash-ley Ogle had recruited Philile to join the ice cream heist. Swiss was not pleased with the revelation, so he quickly reprimanded both Mshini and Philile for eating stolen goods and hiding food in the house.

Philile, realising the gravity of her actions, begged Swiss not to expose her to the rest of the housemates. But the damage was already done, the secret was out, and they would have to face the wrath of the other housemates as there was no guarantee that Swiss would keep their secret.

As the drama unfolded, it became clear that the great ice cream heist was more than just a simple prank. It was a symptom of a larger issue: a lack of trust and communication among the housemates. With them losing their wager and getting only 20% of their supplies, this could turn out to be just the beginning of what is yet to come.

Will the housemates be able to recover from this betrayal of trust or will the great ice cream heist set the stage for more drama and tension in the Big Brother house? Tune in to find out.
