Mshini has had enough. She made it clear that in the morning's HoH meeting that she is sick and tired of feeling disrespected, especially about comments regarding her body. She confronted Nate directly, expressing her frustration over being called "tiny" in the arena.
Mshini did not mince her words, stating that if anyone dared to call her that again, it would mean war. She shared that the repeated use of that word made her feel body-shamed, and she was no longer going to tolerate it. Nate apologised, saying she had no idea that Mshini found the term offensive. However, Mshini interrupted her, making it clear that this was not the first time Nate had used that word and that she had expressed her dislike for it before.
Her venting started earlier in the garden with Siphesihle and Philile. Siphesihle told the ladies that Gugu helped her see how "manipulative" Nate is. According to Siphesihle, Nate had been pushing certain dynamics with BeeKay and Kay B to advance her own game. She accused Nate of painting all housemates as apologists, further straining the already tense environment.
Later, while speaking with Siphesihle and Philile, Mshini revealed just how much the situation affected her. She felt that a boundary had been crossed – her size was not up for discussion, and Nate had hurt her deeply. Overcome with emotion, she broke down in tears. Siphesihle tried to comfort her, validating her feelings.

But Mshini was not done making her stance clear. In a dramatic move, she warned that if anyone used the word "tiny" again, she would draw them and put their drawings up on the wall for everyone to see. She reminded the housemates that while she may be friendly and laugh a lot, she is not stupid.
Mshini ended her tirade revealing that she developed a rash after her G-string was stolen, then found. She admitted she didn’t know the cause but hoped that no one had done anything sinister to her – perhaps even witchcraft.
With tensions rising in the house, it’s clear that Mshini is drawing her lines, and anyone who crosses them should be ready for battle.
