Zimbabwean housemates Roki and Maneta have been disqualified from the Big Brother StarGame house. The two of them were asked to pack their bags and leave the house after they got engaged in a physical confrontation.

Roki poured water over Maneta's head and Maneta threw cleaning fluid in Roki’s face. Maneta also threatened to stab Roki. I didn't watch the action go down, but I hear it was quite heated, and both deserved to be disqualified. I like the message Big Brother is passing across, violence should never be tolerated.
