21-year-old Durbanite Jase is a third year university student who describes himself as adventurous, loving, confident and sociable.
A sports fan who plays soccer, cricket and tennis he definitely isn't averse to taking on more adrenaline fuelled pursuits as he did recently when he jumped the highest swing at Oribi Gorge for a television show called Ride-iculous.
Jase has three older sisters and a younger brother who he calls his best friend in the world because, "we do everything together and have the same interests."
A Manchester United supporter who is most happy when he can overcome a challenge, Jase dislikes hypocritical people and people who give up too easily. He looks up to US President Barack Obama "for what he achieved being a person of colour and securing a second term in office".
Currently single, Jase is a fan of Eminem, Drake and Chris Brown. He enjoys pasta and partying, has a dog named Tess and relaxes in the gym or by watching movies, especially those starring his favourite actors Leonardo di Caprio, Mark Wahlberg, Morgan Freeman and Denzel Washington.
If he could visit one place in the world, the one-time Mr uShaka winner would go to New York because the city is cosmopolitan and so he can see tourist attractions such as the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building.
The best advice Jase has ever been given came from his mom who said, "Stay true to yourself and lead a good honest life".
Asked why he wanted to participate in Big Brother Mzansi, he says that the thrill of not knowing whether audiences will keep him in the house or not is part of the attraction.
Jase speaks English and says the best thing about South Africans is that they are friendly, diverse, happy and have their own distinct lingo. Asked about his bad habits, Jase says that he pinches his nose and sticks his hands in his pockets a lot.
