The 28-year-old marketing graduate is not in tweeps' good books and it started just a few hours into day 1. According to tweeps, when they tune in to the show, Mvelo always seems to be holding a plate of food in his hand. "This Mvelo guy is just there to eat!" exclaimed one viewer. Another said, "Every time I see Mvelo… he’s holding a plate or eating."
Apart from his eating habits, other housemates think Mvelo's weird laughter is a huge turn off. Many have pointed out how he laughs almost all the time and lets out a chuckle after a few sentences.
Which might be understandable because people have their own coping mechanisms to deal with nerves, especially if you are Live on television 24/7.
Here are some reactions:
Yoh Mvelo is too much. I’d get exhausted being around him. 😇

According to the Big Brother website, Mvelo has is a very vibrant person who worked in the media and communications space. As a person who laughs a lot like he does, Mvelo is said to be bubbly and very humorous.
Viewers have already pointed out their favourite housemates and not-so-favourite, i.e. Mvelo. Just day 2 in Big Brother's house and viewers are already bored because for some they feel like the contestants are auditioning to be part of the entertainment industry. All they talk about it their dreams of making it big in the industry and nobody is letting out their true characters.
Thuli Phongolo is also a huge fan of the reality show but she was not impressed when the contestants gossiped about her. Although they did not really name drop, she caught her sub. She said the housemates were being forward by saying she add no value into the entertainment industry.
Not them phapheling me on the first day… 🙄 #BBMzansi

The seem to forget that Thuli starred in Mzansi's biggest telenovela Generations: The Legacy which was kind of like her inauguration into the industry. She then moved on to Rockville and starred in The Wife.
Thuli recently left The Wife because she was too busy with other projects and she slammed rumour that she was a diva. “Concerning the allegations that have been made in the media relating to Thuli’s professionalism and work commitment, we [Thuli's team via statement] vehemently would like to refute them as baseless and devoid of substance.
“It is imperative to note Thuli and the producers of the show reached a mutual agreement to end her role on ’The Wife’ pursuant to them agreeing that the production schedules for continued filming were unsuitable for all parties involved. Her portrayal of Lerato and working with the cast has brought her immense joy and has made an indelible contribution to her growth and career as an actor.”
