THE saying that "wherever you lay your head is home" has proved to be true for Zimbabwean cardiac nurse Makosi Musambasi, who is fighting to continue living in the United Kingdom, a place she has called home for the past five years.

While she fights for her right to remain in England after thrilling the British public with her sex-spiced antics during Big Brother UK, her family in Harare has embarked on a programme of fervent daily prayers.

"We are praying daily for Makosi so that she gets the legal documents which will enable her to remain in the UK where her heart is. We wish her good luck in everything that she does," said Richard Musambasi, Makosi's father.

Makosi has expressed a wish to continue living in Britain and has threatened to flout the law and stay as an illegal immigrant if her appeal against her impending deportation fails.

"I am worried and scared. Back in Zimbabwe I have been judged for things I have done that African people do not like. I would like to stay in Britain. I have been saving British lives and I could save more," she told The Sun newspaper last week.

If her appeal fails after the 10-day deadline expires this week, she might well find herself on the next flight back to Harare.

Her family however is confident that nothing of the sort will happen.
"Everything is under control, we are praying and I talked to her over the weekend and she assured us that nothing will happen to her as her lawyers are working round the clock to make sure that she remains in the UK .She told us that she had only made a small mistake, of not notifying the Home Office of the change in her circumstances and this had caused all the confusion," said Musambasi.

Asked what he thinks of his daughter's new status as a showbiz personality, which has seen her posing, nude for newspapers, he said she is an adult who makes her own choices. He said, "She is a grown up person who should choose her own path. We thank God who gave her all the blessings and talent, she can do whatever she wants."

Meanwhile, the controversial former cardiac nurse was last week embroiled in fresh controversy after she was accused by two debt-collection companies of not paying back a car loan. In0 another incident she was booted out of a celebrity function after she got drunk and started verbally abusing guests.
