At least she's dressed appropriately for once, even classy some might say..

[Deleted User] · 20/10/05 - 13:57

She doesn't look too worried, considering...

Yep, but she still has that smug look on her face..............

[Deleted User] · 20/10/05 - 13:59

Wonder if she'll escape being deported after the recent judgement that a guy couldn't be sent back to Zimbabwe due to the current situation there being unsafe?

EDIT: Sorry, have just seen this discussed on another post "Makosi is still in the country" - actually gives a link to the case in question that I mention above.

[Deleted User] · 20/10/05 - 14:09

She does indeed look very lovely. And I for one wish her the best of luck. Not that she will read this mind, but just wanted to say it.

She looks gorgeous. I do hope she is allowed to stay, not only because Zimbabwe is not a good place to be returned to right now but also because she has a lot to offer here.

[Deleted User] · 20/10/05 - 15:43

Here's a story about it - http://www.lse.co.uk/ShowStory.asp?story=MJ2018834E&news_headline=big_brother_makosi_fights_deportation

Looks like her main grounds for appealing against deportation are: "she would face "ill treatment" by Robert Mugabe's brutal regime if sent back" and "the Home Office had failed to follow "proper procedures" when it gave [her] notice to quit".

Big Brother's Makosi fears attacks if she is deported

Big Brother star Makosi fears being attacked by violent mobs if deported back to her native Zimbabwe where she has been branded a "low-life lesbian", an immigration tribunal heard today.

Makosi is famous in Zimbabwe for all the wrong reasons, the tribunal heard.

Mr Henderson said: "One new media organisation, New Zimbabwe, had described her as a `low-life lesbian`.

A headline read: `Every Zimbabwean Should Be Ashamed`.

"Quite apart from the general issue of risk to returnees, she would be at grave risk because she is perceived to have gone to Britain and acted in a shameful and un-African manner and violated Zimbabwean taboo."

Makosi also fears mobs will single her out because one of her former lovers is a relative of President Mugabe.
Jenni Richards, for the Home Office, told the hearing that the Home Office did not routinely monitor the sexual relationships of Mugabe`s relatives.

The hearing was adjourned to November 17 when the Home Office is set to contest the allegations.

After the hearing Makosi said: "I was absolutely ready to give my evidence today.

"I love living here and am happy to wait for my day in court for justice to be done."

So ..... her problem is caused by her own deliberate self-centred self-interested and self-serving actions actions .....

..... why should we care - she didn't ..... send her back home ..... :cool:

[Deleted User] · 20/10/05 - 18:50

I hope she stays, IMO she doesn't deserve to be deported. It seems there's more to the case than we've been led to believe as it appears that the full correct procedure wasn't followed by the Home Office. I would also like to point out that an earlier media report that the case had already been heard, a decision made but wouldn't be revealed until today was rubbish, as has been proved today as her case has been adjourned until November.

That she did but he has since gone on a mission to make her look even worse. By pretending to confirm he had AIDs to make her look like she set it up, telling stories at every op saying how much of a fool she is and how she is lying saying he is stalking her after he lied about being in the UK when still in Zim.

Something tells me she is more likely to be in danger because of this relationship than protected (don't think she'll get any protection from the Mugabe camp).

although i wasn't a makosi fan while she was in the house, i do feel its sad that after all the lives she saved in her job as a cardiac nurse-that she is now being told to 'get out'. It just doesn't seem right to me-when so many immigrants(not all of them) come over here and just live off tax payers money-yet they are welcomed with open arms.
Makosi-regardless of what people think of her-did something worthwhile in becoming a nurse and the only thanks she gets is being told to 'go home'.
Bet she wishes she just applied for benefits then went on BB-that would have been fine :mad:
