She has also modeled some of her own shoes and is a brand ambassador for several other brands, namely Victory Co, Vault Cosmetics and the T-shirt brand Ndeipi Zviri Sei-Sei. She is also a philanthropist and HIV testing advocate, running annual campaigns to encourage young people, especially women, to know their HIV status.
Boy
Pokello Nare has two sons, Nathan and Tristan, aged 17 and 5 respectively. Nathan’s father is unknown, but Tristan’s father is ex-husband and former Big Brother Africa Housemate Elikem Kurmodzie, a fashion designer from Ghana.
Boyfriend
Before joining Big Brother Africa, Pokello Nare was in a relationship with rapper Stunner. She later split from him on national television and began a relationship with fellow housemate Elikem Kurmodzie, whom she married in 2013 and has a son, Tristan.
Their marriage lasted four years and the reason given at the time of their divorce was ‘irreconcilable differences. Both have made it clear that Elikem was not ready for marriage at the time and the long distance between them complicated their relationship. As of November 2017, Pokello is in a relationship with businessman Ronald ‘Rondon’ Muzambe.
Pokello is not one to shy away from controversy, instead using it to further her pursuit of what makes her happy. She was involved in a sex tape scandal with her ex-boyfriend, Stunner, but that didn’t stop her from taking part in Big Brother Africa Season 8.
The one thing we admire about her is her tenacity – she takes action and gets things done; no wonder she has grown into the brand she is today.
