On Wednesday, 7 January 2026<\/strong> \u2013 It was a moment of appreciation, engagement, and reflection on future prospects as finalists of the popular Housemates Salone<\/em> reality television show paid a courtesy visit to the management of Rokel Commercial Bank (RCBank), one of Sierra Leone\u2019s leading financial institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visit, which took place at the bank\u2019s headquarters, was led by the senior management team of Africa Young Voice (AYV) Media Empire<\/strong> and was aimed at formally expressing gratitude to Rokel Commercial Bank for its immense support during Housemates Salone Season Four<\/em>. The partnership between the bank and AYV has been widely credited with promoting youth empowerment, creativity, and entertainment across Sierra Leone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcoming the delegation, the Head of Public Relations at Rokel Commercial Bank, Mr. Aruna Dumbuya<\/strong>, said the bank has consistently supported initiatives that align with its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) objectives, particularly those focused on youth development and national growth. He explained that when AYV approached the bank to support Housemates Salone<\/em>, management responded positively by providing financial backing to ensure the successful delivery of the programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cRokel Commercial Bank has always been committed to initiatives that support national development, especially youth-focused programmes,\u201d Mr. Dumbuya noted. \u201cOur support for Housemates Salone<\/em> reflects our belief in the power of young people and creative platforms to drive positive change in society.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on behalf of the bank\u2019s management, the Deputy Managing Director, Mr. Emmanuel E. Borbor<\/strong>, reaffirmed Rokel Commercial Bank\u2019s strong commitment to the Housemates Salone<\/em> brand. He said supporting young talents aligns perfectly with the bank\u2019s CSR objectives, adding that the institution looks forward to future collaborations with AYV and Housemates Salone<\/em> in areas such as projects, product promotions, and innovative initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Borbor further stated that the bank is proud to be associated with developmental activities across the country, which explains its continued support for AYV and Housemates Salone<\/em>. He described the recently concluded Season Four as \u201cthe best so far,\u201d<\/em> praising the quality of production, the conduct of contestants, and the positive impact of the programme on the youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He assured the contestants and organisers of the bank\u2019s continued support, while also encouraging the Housemates finalists to maintain their dignity and protect their reputations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cYou are now public figures, ambassadors, and role models to many young people across the country,\u201d Mr. Borbor reminded them. \u201cHow you conduct yourselves from now on will continue to inspire others.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Other members of the bank\u2019s senior management, including the Head of Operations, Mr. Adekali Kamara; the Marketing Manager, Ms. Michaela Dora Macauley; and the Director of Risk Management, Mr. Abdul Rahman Mahdi<\/strong>, commended AYV Media Empire and the Housemates finalists for returning to formally appreciate the bank\u2019s support. They reassured the delegation of the bank\u2019s readiness to sustain the partnership and explore further areas of collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on behalf of AYV Media Empire, the Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Messeh Leone<\/strong>, said the visit was a deliberate effort to show gratitude to sponsors who made Housemates Salone Season Four<\/em> a success. He described the delegation as being accompanied by what he termed \u201cthe best Housemates ever,\u201d<\/em> noting that their presence symbolised appreciation and respect for partners who invested in the programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Leone thanked Rokel Commercial Bank for its unwavering support, describing the bank as a consistent and reliable partner to AYV. He noted that the partnership extends beyond Housemates Salone<\/em> to other programmes aired on the AYV platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, the Housemates Salone finalists<\/strong> expressed heartfelt appreciation to the management and staff of Rokel Commercial Bank for believing in the brand and supporting youth-centred initiatives. They encouraged the bank to continue investing in programmes that empower young people and provide platforms for talent development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The winner of Housemates Salone Season Four<\/strong> made a special appeal to the bank to consider engaging the Housemates as brand ambassadors, noting that their wide reach and influence could help promote the bank\u2019s products and services while attracting more customers, particularly within the youth demographic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visit ended on a positive note with a group photograph<\/strong> taken to commemorate the occasion, symbolising the strong partnership between Rokel Commercial Bank, AYV Media Empire, and the Housemates Salone brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
