ONEAL

Bio
ONeal is a radio personality and TV host. He describes himself as “fun, imaginative, entertaining, shocking and unforgettable”. ONeal values consideration in others and thinks his best quality is his imagination. He dislikes dishonesty and declares himself an entertainer at heart.
ONeal says his favourite place in Botswana is his house – in particular his couch – and says that the best thing about Africa is its people’s emotional
strength. He was inspired to enter Big Brother because of “the lack of me in that house” and a need to increase his follower base outside his home country. ONeal has a younger brother and says it will be a privilege to have Africa’s eyes on him 24/7, but also acknowledges how tough it will probably be.
