Frankie Rukundo and Arthur Nkusi have been revealed as the official representatives of Rwanda in Africa’s most watched television reality show, Big Brother Hotshots. This after several visa complications that had almost made Rwanda’s involvement impossible.

Who are they?

Arthur Nkusi

The comedian-radio presenter, Nkusi describes himself as ‘funny, humorous and humble’. He says he loves the fact that he is social and makes friends easily. He enjoys people who are humble, and dislikes people who are irresponsible. His favourite foods are rice and beans, his favourite book The Whole Truth, and favourite TV show, Real Husbands of Hollywood.

Nkusi says that viewers can expect ‘talent and humour’ from him and if he wins, he’ll invest his money in business. What won’t he do to win? ‘Anything that goes against my human nature’.  

Frankie Rukundo

Frankie is a singer, model and actor with a degree in financial management. His favourite food is ugali with beef stew and his favourite book is Nelson Mandela’s Long Walk To Freedom.

Frankie enjoys the music of Joe Luther Vandross and Morgan Heritage and he says he loves "epic movies and romantic comedies".

Outside of the continent, he says that Canada is his favourite destination because of all the opportunities there, but also because his son Taye was born there. Frankie considers his parents to be his role models, because "they have gone through lots of tribulations, but love and kindness always blossomed" he says.

Frankie says that viewers can expect "great times full of enthusiasm and adventure" from him and that if he wins, he'll contribute towards building a school in his grandmother's village and buy a house for his parents, to thank them for everything they did for him.

The show is set to hit your screens on Sunday 5th October, and it runs for 91 days.

We wish our boys the best of luck!
