“This journey started on the 4th of January, and if we’re being honest, a lot of us didn’t know what to expect. But that scripture kept ringing in our hearts — ‘I know the thoughts I think towards you, thoughts of good and not of evil.’ Through it all, God used LLF to remind us that He wasn’t done with Liyema. This second chance wasn’t by accident, it had a purpose. Thank you to every single person who stood by her, even when it didn’t look good. You didn’t move, you didn’t fold… you stayed. And because of that, we witnessed the growth, the strength, the evolution. You carried her on your shoulders and never let her fall. We see you, we appreciate you, and we’re deeply grateful. This win was personal for every single one of us… and the lilies showed up and delivered.”
Outside the house, her support base grew rapidly. Well-known celebrities rallied behind her, while her fanbase mobilised across social media, encouraging thousands of viewers to vote and ultimately helping secure her victory.
