Former Big Brother Mzansi contestant, Sinaye Kotobe is beaming with joy at the love he has received during and since he left the famous show.

Having recently declared his plans for his career, Sinaye’s supporters dropped some serious money on him to ensure he’s all set to take over the South African broadcasting industry.

Taking to his Twitter (X), the former housemate posed with his R100K cheque which was gifted by four supporters.

Oh, but that’s not all. Sinaye also held up a MacBook Pro worth R90K and AirPods valued at over R5K. This after sharing a photo the week prior thanking his Snipers for his new R40K iPhone 15.

Speaking to Briefly News, superfan BbnEnjoying spoke about what went into picking Sinaye’s gifts:

"We carefully selected these gifts with heartfelt intention, understanding how they would not only aid him in his current projects but also provide solace as he navigates the vibrant yet unfamiliar landscape of Johannesburg. 

"Our gesture serves as appreciation for his kindness, thoughtfulness, and unwavering positivity. For those who radiate goodness, we believe in reciprocating with the same, if not greater, measure of goodness."

Sinaye told the publication that his fanbase is a blessing, and spoke about what goes into building a community such as his:

"I am truly in awe, they always catch me off guard. I really feel blessed with such an awesome fanbase that appreciates me as much as they do!

"To build a loyal fanbase, I would say be yourself and stay true to who you are. Most importantly, appreciate each other. I don’t even consider them a fanbase anymore; I see them as my family.

The former housemate gave Netizens an inkling of his career plans:

"I’m busy building my brand and making a name for myself. I’m super excited about a project which also involves the fans and speaks on what my brand will be about in the coming months. All I can say is watch the space!"

Mzansi reacts to Sinaye’s pricey gifts:

Fans said Sinaye was deserving of the spoils and congratulated him:

MakaMpie was stunned: “Haibo, Sinaye has fans for days!”

bebe_caykes cheered Sinaye on: “Sinaye collected the rich aunties. We didn’t see any contribution campaigns, but he has now collected almost R200k in cash and gifts?”

LoriderJones wrote: “Love it for Sinaye, a lot. He is a good person.”

Meanwhile, some netizens weren’t convinced by the incredible lengths the Snipers went to for their fave.

BbnEnjoying claimed that Sinaye was like no other contestant on the show:

"What sets Sinaye apart from the contestants is his authentic essence, different from what we're used to on such a platform. I am drawn to individuals who embrace vulnerability with grace, and he epitomised this virtue effortlessly. 

"Throughout his journey on the show, I witnessed his trials, triumphs, and his resilience. In a landscape often clouded by cynicism, his unwavering positivity emerged as a beacon of hope. Where negativity looms large, it is individuals like Sinaye who remind us of the power of optimism."

PapaaMama_Bona was sceptical:

"I like him, but R100k from his fans, really? Unless there was one big anonymous donor, but his fans alone doing this? Nah."

Tamie1462504 wasn’t convinced:

"He gifted himself, where are those fans?"

ManyatsiSethu suspected:

"I think his Dad is the anonymous gifter."
