The two were the last to be evicted from the house, before the M-Net reality show's grand finale this Sunday, October 17. Not a single country voted for Kaone and Tatiana because even their own countries voted to save the other contenders.  Zimbabwe's Munya was saved by a total of nine countries while Nigeria's Uti received six votes.

Munya was voted by Botswana, (which many thought would vote to save countryman Kaone), Ghana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe (his home country).

Uti was saved by Angola (which many thought would have voted for their own Tatiana), Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda and the rest of Africa.

While many people would have thought that at least Botswana and Angola would vote their own they decided to be strategic, and start voting for the overall winner - that is the people they see as stronger contenders.

With just a week before the grand finale, it is already clear that Munya is the one who will bag the money, based on the assumption that countries that voted to save him, will again be voting for him to win the money.  The competition seems to be between Munya and Uti.  Other remaining housemates are South Africa's Lerato, Kenya's Sheila, and Tanzania's Mwisho.

Of the remaining Housemates, Mwisho is the only one who has not gone up against Munya for eviction.  Uti has faced Munya twice, even though neither of them was evicted, as there were Housemates with fewer votes then.  Mwisho was up for eviction once when he went up against Paloma, and he emerged on top, with nine country votes against Paloma's six.  The first time Uti and Munya went head-to-head was during Week Seven, when Code was the other Housemate up for eviction.  Uti had two more votes than Munya, with eight against Munya's six.  The second time the duo faced off was in Week 12 alongside Kaone and Tatiana.  This time around Munya came up tops with nine votes against Uti's six.  No Housemate has been up for nomination on more occasions than Munya, and none has survived more.  He has survived eight times.  During Week One he survived the mock eviction, which saw Kaone and Tatiana momentarily leaving the BBAS House.

During Week Three he went up against Lerato and survived.  Lerato was to be banished to the Barn, but later came back courtesy of a random wildcard selection.  When Sheila was Head of House in Week Four, she saved herself and put Tatiana up in her place against Munya - an event that saw Tatiana evicted to the Barn.  During Week Six Munya went up against Sheila and again he excelled with 10 votes against Sheila's five.  Munya's greatest triumph still came during Week Nine when he raked in 13 votes against Jen's one.

Not even Jen's homeland of Mozambique voted for her that week.  Her solitary vote came from Nigeria.  Tanzania, Mwisho's home country has consistently voted Munya and so has Lerato's South Africa.  The two countries have only done so when their candidates were absent from the Nomination list.  Kenya, Sheila's home country, has voted Munya on those occasions when he was not facing Sheila or Uti. 

Nigeria has voted for Munya at least once - during Week Four - when he was up against Tatiana.
