A contestant on the South African version of Big
Brother has been expelled from the show after being accused of raping a fellow
housemate.
Siyanda Ngwenya, known as Adams, allegedly
attacked the female contestant while she was asleep after a drunken night of
partying in the house in Johannesburg.
The pair were last seen on TV kissing and
cuddling in bed before the cameras moved away.
Ngwenya reportedly boasted to housemates the
next day that he had sex with the woman
However, the alleged victim is said to have been
shocked by the claims and reportedly told female contestants that she did not
consent to having sex.
In a statement last night, Mzansi Magic, the
channel which airs Big Brother, said: 'At this stage, it is not exactly clear
what transpired between (the woman) and Adams.
'Having suspected that there may have been an
incident of sexual misconduct, Mzansi Magic acted by removing both individuals
from the house.'
The company said
the alleged victim had been 'removed for her own well-being' and that both
contestants were receiving counselling.
It is not yet
known whether police have been called into investigate the alleged incident,
which took place on Saturday night when alcohol is made freely available to the
housemates.
