She is the first housemate to exit the show since the season began on Sunday, 11 January 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, 17 January 2026, BBMzansi fan @SlungileMbatha revealed on X that Cia\u2019s brother had shared her bank details to allow well-wishers to contribute.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have spoken to her brother, our beautiful sister has been hospitalised due to anxiety and the mental breakdown she has. If you have something to drop to show her some love, please see the bank details below,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Cia\u2019s brother, Matila Moswana, also took to Facebook to echo the appeal, stressing that donations were voluntary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor those who would like to give something, you can send it here; every cent counts. A se force friends ke out of love and support,\u201d he posted, adding that no one was obligated to donate.<\/p>\n<p>The move divided opinion online. Some fans welcomed the initiative and praised the family for being transparent, while others questioned the need for donations.<\/p>\n<p>One user, @RataNnete, commented, \u201cShe\u2019ll be fine, donation ke tsa eng yanong? She has medical aid; she\u2019s a teacher.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Responding to the criticism, @SlungileMbatha clarified that the appeal was not necessarily about covering medical bills.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think my tweets are very clear, so if it\u2019s not your cup of tea, you just move. We are different as humans, and we will always see things differently. My tweet never suggested that it was for medical bills. I said, \u2018let\u2019s show her some love\u2019. Those who understand are doing so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 4 -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#BBMzansi #fans #rally #Cia #Morata #family #opens #donations #emotional #exit<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; Cia Big Brother Mzansi viewers and Marcia \u201cCia\u201d Morata\u2019s family have sparked widespread conversation online after appealing for donations&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":47785,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-47866","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mzansi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47866","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47866"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47866\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":47867,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47866\/revisions\/47867"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47785"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47866"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47866"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47866"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
