Rwandan rising artiste France Mpundu has secured her place in the grand finale of Secret Story Africa, in what stood out as one of the most memorable moments of the season.
Her journey, which has combined talent, resilience, and unexpected romance, has charmed viewers across the continent.
France became the first contestant among the five finalists to advance to the grand finale. Her breakthrough came in an emotional twist when her fellow housemate and now-boyfriend Moctar uncovered a secret code that guaranteed him a direct pass to the finale. Instead of keeping the advantage for himself, he chose to hand it over to France in a powerful gesture of protection and loyalty, as he had promised.

Moments later, Moctar’s own fate also turned in his favor. Since he was not among the nominees up for eviction this week, he automatically secured the second spot in the finale, making the duo one of the most talked-about pairs of the season.
With France now competing for a grand prize exceeding Rwf 50 million, anticipation is growing among fans in Rwanda and beyond. Her achievement marks a milestone not only in her career but also in her personal journey on the show, where she has consistently demonstrated determination and authenticity.
As the countdown to the finale begins, all eyes are on France, Rwanda’s newest reality-TV sensation, who stands just one step away from claiming the ultimate prize in one of Africa’s biggest entertainment franchises.
Voting for France will give a chance to walk away with the prize to Rwanda.
