Notes : All nominations for weeks 1 and 6 were fake.

: All nominations starting from week 2 were for housemate pairs by pairs.

: In week 7, Tsatsii disobeyed Big Brother's rules by discussing nominations with other housemates other than her partner. As punishment, Big Brother revoked the Royals' Head of House immunity and placed them up for eviction.

: In week 8, Big Brother announced that the pairs had been dissolved and all housemates would go back to competing as individuals until the finale. Ipeleng won the Super Veto Power Holder, guaranteeing her a spot in the finale, Head of House for the week, and the power to choose a housemate to take to the finale.

: In week 9, there was no save and replace due to the Super Veto Power won by Ipeleng in week 8. She chose to take Ebubu to the finale.

: In weeks 10 and 11, the penultimate and final weeks, there was no save and replace.

: In week 10, both Thabang and Yvonne received 12 points to save and the tie was broken by the Rest of Africa vote in which Yvonne received more votes than Thabang.
