Namibian Big Brother Africa(BBA) ‘The Chase’ 2013 winner, Dillish Mathews, is all about beauty and brains. She definitely passes for a role model. Here are FIVE top facts you probably never knew about her:
She’s a woman of her word. A couple of days to the 2013 Big Brother Africa grand finale, Dillish and fellow Ghanaian housemate, Elikem, both promised each other a gift if either of them won the game show. While Elikem promised her a Golf 7 car, Dillish promised him a bike as that was on top of Elikem’s wish list, and she did honor her promise to Elikem having emerged BBA The Chase 2013 winner.
She’s Kenyan Apparently Dillish who flew the Namibian flag at Big Br other Africa 2013 is said to be a daughter to a Kenyan retired soldier who goes by the name Abdi Guyo.
A week after the BBA show ended, Rinelda Mouton, a Namibian journalist exclusively interviewed Dillish where it emerged that the young Namibian and her family were on a mission to find her real father.
She added that she had only learned about her Kenyan father through her mother Selma Pashukeni.
Abdi, who is of Somali origin, gave a detailed interview at the Standard Group offices saying that he indeed fathered Dillish during his peacekeeping mission to Namibia in 1989.
She’s an astute businesswoman Dillish has definitely put her fame and fortune to good use business wise, as she has her own make-up line of lip gloss and lipstick ranges and she is a co-owner of a High Definition Salon in her home country. The Namibian’s make-up line was featured in a 2015 skills expo organized by The Namibian Training Authority. She’s also reported to be keen on venturing into property development in Zimbabwe and Namibia should the opportunity present itself.
She’s a smart lady In this context of smart I’m talking academic smart as She’s been found out to be a student of Psychology, and plans on going through with it to the finish despite her fortune on winning the BBA show.
She’s as humble as they come These were the paraphrased words of her business partner Jackie Muchanyuka-Mgido, a Hollywood based Zimbabwean celebrity make-up artist who founded Vault Cosmetics, the marketing and distribution company for the Dillish lipstick and lip gloss make-up range of products.
“What I loved about Dillish is her humility. When I approached her with the idea, I told her that as a business that was just starting, I did not have any money to give her and she said it was okay, and we would settle that when things start going on well,” said the celebrated Zimbabwean make-up artist, who has worked with top artists like actor Denzel Washington and rapper-cum-actor-James Todd “LL Cool J” Smith.
“I was pleasantly surprised. I mean she has money, she won Big Brother and her humility is just something to admire,” Muchanyuka-Mgido told the Daily News.
