Big Brother Bio
Addis Ababa-born Hanni is a 5th year law student with a passion for reggae.
She says the best thing about her country is the people, because "here in Ethiopia we still have the culture of sharing and still manage to be there for one another. The people of Ethiopia are very friendly, graceful, cultural and welcoming".
Hanni entered Big Brother Amplified because she feels she is at a point in her life where she wants to learn more about herself. She says she is open to new things and loves getting to know people personally because there is more to a person than meets the eye.
She says audiences should watch her on Big Brother because she is "honest, funny and interesting". Her favourite Housemate from previous seasons of Big Brother Africa was Yacob, because she found him smart, funny and interesting.
As a musician, she will miss performing once she crosses the famous house's threshold.
To relax, Hanni loves hanging out and having a good time with her friends, listening to music and singing – she is at her most relaxed when she is on stage.
Passionate about the rights of women and children, she is a strong believer in equality between sexes and that every child should be educated properly.
