Business came to a standstill in Kigali as Big Brother Africa enthusiasts welcomed Arthur Nkusi from South Africa where he represented Rwanda in the reality show.
Arthur arrived yesterday at midday, aboard RwandAir and, he was welcomed by excited fans, friends and family who had waited anxiously with flowers and placards.
The 23-year-old was evicted after four weeks of showcasing a great sense of humour, but he could not survive the night he was up for eviction.
He was the seventh Hotshot to leave the show, alongside Ghana's Kacey Moore and Namibia's Luis.
"I would like to thank all of you for the support you showed me during my one month stay in Big Brother Africa. I am back to motherland and happy to have represented," Arthur wrote on his Facebook account.
The eviction of the actor, comedian and dancer means Rwanda's hopes are on Frankie who remains in contention of the $300, 000 jackpot, with about a month left.
"I would also like to thank MINISPOC, the East Africa community and everyone who made sure that Rwanda was fully represented. Let's all come together and support Frankie," he concluded," Arthur wrote.
Arthur rose to celebrity status during the show due to a combination of his charisma and talent. The Rwandan Hotshot had made himself a likeable fellow, especially around the girls.
"Arthur's eviction saddened most of the Big Brother Africa addicts who received it with shock," said Alex Mugisha, one of Arthur's fans.
"He was arguably one of the most entertaining and well behaved people in the House. I'm glad he represented Rwanda well and showed Africa the best out of him," he added.
So far, 10 housemates have been evicted from the 9th edition of Big Brother Africa which ends December 7.
"Arthur's performance was exquisite but of course everyone looks at things differently and maybe there are some who did not feel like he made a good performance. However now that he is out of the show what remains to be seen is if what he set out to achieve has been achieved," said Kennedy Mazimpaka, Arthur's father.
The comedian describes himself as 'funny, humorous and humble'.
Speaking at a press conference, Arthur said what helped him to stay longer in the competition was because he was multi talented and could do anything from choreographing, singing and also comedy.
"I am very excited to come back home. I've achieved what I had gone for in just a period of one month I spent in the house, which was mainly to showcase my talent to Africa," said Arthur.
"My advice to people aspiring to participate in the Big Brother is to be real. I also call upon Rwandans to vote for Frankie because the southern and western countries are voting as a block and this is why East Africans are voted out early," he added.
