Multichoice explain BBA’s Wendall prize money delay

Multichoice Zimbabwe have explained delays in releasing 2011 Big Brother Africa Amplified (BBAA) co-winner Wendall Parson’s prize money for winning the reality television show.

Parson told reporters in Zimbabwe that he had not received his money by Tuesday when asked what he had done with the US$200, 000 (P1.3 million).

The company’s head of Marketing and Communications, Gerald Chinogara revealed that Parson had no bank account in Zimbabwe, hence the delay.

“What happened is that Wendall was coming from Australia and then he went for the BBAA. He didn’t have an account in Zimbabwe so when he won he never gave them (South Africa office) his banking details. They had also indicated that the money would only reflect after a month and there were also challenges since he had no account,” Chinogara told Showbiz.

Meanwhile, Vimbai Mutinhiri is set to launch launch own range of fragrance before December.
