The man accused of leaking the nudes of Mai Titi’s daughter, Felicia Muzeya, also known as Fifi, has written to the head of the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP), Commissioner General Godwin Matanga, asking him to clear his name.
Through his lawyer, Amir Mhaka (20), denies the nudes were ever sent to him by Fifi (19), saying his arrest was malicious.
In a letter seen by <a href="https://www.zimlive.com/nudes-storm-mai-titi-daughters-ex-begs-police-commissioner-to-exonerate-him/">ZimLive</a> and addressed to Matanga, Mhaka’s lawyer Admire Rubaya said several things have come to light since his arrest which require the police to further investigate.
Rubaya said investigations should start with Fifi for admitting to the crime of recording, keeping and distributing the intimate images.
Mhaka also denied receiving the nude images or distributing them and has submitted his cellphone to the police for cyber examination in a bid to prove his innocence.
He argues that Fifi’s cell phone will answer all the contentious questions including who she sent the images to.
Rubaya avered that it is only after Fifi’s mobile is examined that it can be established whether she indeed sent the images to Mhaka or not. He said:
<blockquote>
He (Mhaka) further asserts that instead of just examining his mobile handset only, the Police Cyber experts should also examine the complainant’s mobile phone to ascertain if there is any trace of evidence that she once sent those alleged leaked photos to the accused person.
Our client is of the firm view that there are people who might have accessed the complainant’s nude pictures and not him.
</blockquote>
In the letter to Matanga, Mhaka also alleged that several bloggers online have claimed that the teenage girl has an OnlyFans account.
OnlyFans is a British subscription-based video-on-demand service and social media network that allows content creators to upload videos, mainly pornography. The intimate content posted on the site is on a pay-per-view basis. Said Rubaya:
<blockquote>
There is also a possibility of the complainant herself publishing her own nude pictures for some other reasons which might include for popularity purposes. These are probable possibilities that should be investigated.
It has also come to our client’s attention that there are bloggers who have claimed that the complainant had subscribed to a pornographic site known as Onlyfans wherein alleged content creators upload their content to the site and their fans follow them for a fee.
If it is true that she was one of the content creators on that pornographic site there is a real possibility that that’s where her nude pictures might have been extracted by some of her followers resulting in the leakage.
We humbly implore and entrust you to consider this possibility in your investigations.
</blockquote>
The letter also says when Mhaka was arrested, Mai Titi accused one Patricia Jeke or Patricia Jack of leaking her daughter’s pictures.
Rubaya asserted that this casts doubt and warrants further investigation, given that even the complainants themselves are uncertain about the source of the leaked images.
On his initial appearance, Mhaka asked the police to arrest his ex-girlfriend for capturing and keeping nude pictures on her mobile phone.
Mhaka is due to appear in court for his routine remand this week.

Mai Titi Daughter’s Ex-boyfriend Begs Police Commissioner To Clear His Name

Felicia Muzeya (18), the daughter of controversial socialite, <a href="https://pindula.co.zw/Mai_Titi">Felistas Murata</a>, better known as Mai TT, has taken her ex-boyfriend to court for leaking her nude pictures.
Muzeya, popularly known as Fifi, accused Amir Mhaka (19) of distributing the images on social media platforms without her consent.
<a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200025704/mai-titis-daughter-drags-lover-to-court-for-leaking-nudes">NewsDay</a> reported that Mhaka was arraigned before Harare magistrate Caroline Matanga on Tuesday, April 16, and was remanded out of custody to May 15 on US$50 bail for possible trial commencement.
Prosecutor Mandirasa Chigumira alleged that Muzeya and Mhaka met on Instagram in 2020 and started dating online.
During the subsistence of their romantic relationship, Muzeya shared her nude pictures with Mhaka in confidence until they eventually cut ties in April 2022
It is further alleged that Mhaka started threatening to expose the images on social media platforms to spite her after she moved on.
The court heard that on April 9 this year, the complainant’s sister, Tanatswa Mutikani alerted her about her trending nudes.
Muzeya then reported the matter to the police.
In a Facebook post on Monday, Mai TT appeared to mock Mhaka saying “The very same people who clap for you when you are breaking the law are the same who will laugh at you when the law catches up with you. ” She wrote:
<blockquote>
The law doesn’t need you to hire anyone. When you feel someone broke the law with your 2 legs go to the nearest police station.
Not everything needs to be politicalized, don’t take advantage of people and when they act you think it’s politics. All of us are humans. 
I used to think there was no law or some issues were not worth reporting until I personally went behind bars. 
It’s the things we do for likes and think it’s good. For clout and applause from people who will not even come to see us when the worst comes. 
You will face reality on your own amongst the thousands who were cheering you to break the law thinking you are wise. After they catch you, you start blaming the wrong people. 
We all bleed just like you do. So dance to the tune because you pressed play. I learnt a lot whilst in prison. 
The very same people who clap for you when you are breaking the law are the same who will laugh at you when the law catches up with you. As for me I will not hire anyone this is my fight. Learn or Perish!!!!!!

Man Arrested For Leaking Mai TT’s Daughter Fifi’s Private Pictures Granted US$50 Bail

A Harare man who is suspected to have posted nude images of <a href="https://pindula.co.zw/Mai_Titi">Mai TT</a>’s daughter on social media has been arrested.
Amin Mhaka was arrested and detained at Highlands Police Station on suspicion of leaking Felisha’s nudes after their romantic relationship had deteriorated.
ZRP spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the arrest to <a href="https://www.hmetro.co.zw/man-nabbed-for-leaking-mai-tt-daughters-nudes/">H-Metro</a>. He said:
<blockquote>
Police arrested one suspect in connection with the leaking of the nude photographs of Mai TT’s daughter.
Investigations are in progress and we will furnish more details tomorrow (today).
</blockquote>
Initially, after the explicit pictures of her teenage daughter Fifi were leaked, Mai TT posted a video suggesting there was no shame in Fifi’s naked images appearing online.
However, she later reconsidered and claimed that her daughter had been blackmailed and extorted by a boyfriend. This boyfriend allegedly leaked the pictures after Fifi could no longer afford to pay him. Wrote Mai TT on social media:
<blockquote>
The way you are shocked is the same way I’m shocked because my daughter is the most quiet, intelligent, individual.
When I counted my blessings, I counted her as well. Never have I ever held a stick to flog her because there was nothing to flog her for.
She was the best God gave me because everything about her is just perfect.
There is just a young lady who was in a relationship and trusted her boyfriend, and after breaking up, the guy leaked the pictures.
I got to find out that she was under threats the whole of last year but never told me about it. She would pay this guy not to release until she couldn’t afford anymore.
</blockquote>

Harare Man Arrested On Suspicion Of Sharing Mai TT Daughter's Private Photos

<a href="https://pindula.co.zw/Farai_Maguwu">Farai Maguwu</a>, the founding Director of the Centre for Natural Resource Governance (CNRG), has suggested that the leaking of Fifi’s nudes, which has become a topical issue on social media, is meant to divert Zimbabweans’ attention from the Government’s shortcomings in the introduction of the new currency, Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG).
The central bank launched ZiG on Friday last week but the new currency has already lost value significantly on the black market as illegal money changers are reported to be selling the greenback for ZiG18, instead of the official rate of US$1:ZiG13.4.
This week, comedienne <a href="https://pindula.co.zw/Mai_Titi">Mai TT</a> and her daughter Fifi (17) have been trending because of nude pictures of the latter which were posted online.
Shockingly, Mai TT defended her daughter and encouraged her to dump more nudes online.
This may not be surprising to some people because Mai TT’s nudes were also leaked last year.
Posting on X, Maguwu asked if it is a mere coincidence that Mai TT’s nudes were leaked during the airing of the Al Jazeera documentary, Gold Mafia last year, and her daughter’s were leaked online when the launch of the ZiG currency has stirred debate. Said Maguwu:
<blockquote>
Fifi nudes. Do u remember that after the 1st 2 or 3 episodes of the Gold Mafia documentary, Mai Titi ‘leaked’ her own nudes to divert public attention? Is it a coincidence that as the public is reacting to ZiG, Fifi feeds the public with her own nudes again? And Mai Titi defends her.
</blockquote>
“Gold Mafia” was a four-part documentary aired by Al Jazeera’s investigative unit which exposed an alleged shadowy global economy, where gold serves as a conduit for turning dirty cash into seemingly legitimate wealth.
The investigation focuses on Southern Africa, where gold smuggling gangs operate, enriching themselves while exploiting their nations.
According to the documentary, criminals, working with government officials, use a complex web of companies, counterfeit identities, and fake documents to launder hundreds of millions of dollars.
For instance, smuggled gold from Zimbabwe finds its way to Dubai and then gets exported to major gold hubs like Switzerland and London.
“Gold Mafia” alleged that high-ranking officials from Zimbabwe are involved in smuggling and money laundering.
Meanwhile, in a Facebook post, Mai TT said she was shocked to discover that her daughter, Fifi, had been blackmailed by her former boyfriend for a whole year over the nudes. She wrote:
<blockquote>
I got to find out that she was under threats the whole of last year but never told me about it. She would pay this guy not to release until she couldn’t afford anymore.

"Fifi Nudes Leak Meant To Divert Attention From Unpopular ZiG"

Comedienne and musician <a href="https://pindula.co.zw/Mai_Titi">Mai TT</a> was released from Chikurubi Female Prison on Tuesday evening after the High Court on Monday overturned her conviction on a theft of trust property charge.
Mai TT’s lawyer, Tafadzwa Byron Muvhami told <a href="https://www.hmetro.co.zw/mai-tt-free-at-last/">H-Metro</a> that the processing of her release documents was delayed by the prison’s old system.
Her parents, relatives, friends and her dog spent the greater part of Tuesday at the prison entrance anticipating her quick release. Said Muvhami:
<blockquote>
It took me the whole day to conclude the processing of documents for my client to be released.
Prisons are yet to adjust to a new system introduced for quick processing of documents.
I had to run to the High Court and Chikurubi Female Prison with documents, otherwise, she could have been released two days later after being acquitted of theft of trust property.
We successfully won the appeal against conviction and sentence and we are happy that Mai TT has been found not guilty and released.
</blockquote>
Mai TT, whose real name is Felistas Murata, had been sentenced to an effective nine months imprisonment in June.

Mai TT Released From Chikurubi Female Prison

Jailed comedienne, <a href="https://wiki.pindula.co.zw/Mai_Titi">Mai TT</a>, has appealed to the High Court against her conviction for theft of trust property.
Mai TT maintains she had no intention to deprive Rachel Mhuka of her US$10 000 or Else Event Car Hire of its vehicle.
<a href="https://www.hmetro.co.zw/jailed-mai-tt-maintains-innocence/">H-Metro</a> reported that the hearing of the comedienne’s case was postponed to 06 November 2023 by High Court judges, Justices Happious Zhou and Benjamin Chikowero, after the State asked for more time to file its arguments.
Mai TT, whose real name is Felistas Murata, argues that the magistrate, who convicted her, erred in her findings that she had used the vehicle as collateral.
Through her lawyer, Tafadzwa Muvhami of Muvahami Attorneys, Mai “Total Trouble” submitted that Mhuka had every reason to lie to the court after realising that the car left in her company was repossessed.
She said she had no binding trust agreement with Mhuka and it wasn’t her intention to permanently deprive the car dealership.
Allegations were that in September 2022, Mai TT approached Rachel Mhuka saying she was in need of US$10 000 so that she could start a business.
She allegedly volunteered to give Mhuka a Mercedes Benz (AFF9759), which she claimed belonged to her, as surety.
Mai TT told Mhuka that she would forfeit the Mercedes Benz in the event that she failed to repay the US$10 000 on or before 30 November 2022.
The State alleges that acting on the misrepresentation, Mhuka gave Murata US$10 000.
After some days, Mai Titi allegedly returned to Mhuka and demanded back the car saying it did not belong to her.
She allegedly offered Mhuka an Audi Q5 (AFG3701) and an expired passport as surety.
Sometime in January this year, Mhuka was then approached by police from ZRP Rhodesville, who then seized the Audi Q5 saying it belonged to Else Event Car Hire.
Mhuka then lodged a complaint with the police leading to Mai TT’s arrest.
It is further alleged that Mai Titi approached Liberty Kudakwashe Vazhura at Else Car Rental intending to hire an Audi Q5.
Vazhura and Mai Titi then entered into an agreement where she was supposed to pay US$770 per week and a lease agreement was signed.
She failed to make the weekly payments, which prompted Vazhura to order her to return the car.
Vazhura then reported the matter to the Rhodesville Police Station.
The car was recovered from Mhuka’s place of residence where Mai Titi had surrendered it as collateral.
Mai TT reportedly later paid back the US$10 000 in full.

Mai TT Appeals Against Conviction For Theft

The trial of jailed comedienne Felistas Murata, popularly known as Mai TT, failed to start because prison officials didn’t bring her to court. 
Prison officials did not bring Mai TT to court on Thursday to face fraud charges saying the complainant in the case gave birth recently.
She is serving a combined nine (9) month sentence for theft of trust property and for defaulting on a court order to perform community service.
Mai “Total Trouble” was remanded to 29 September 2023 for trial commencement, reported <a href="https://www.hmetro.co.zw/mai-tt-in-court-no-show/">H-Metro</a>.
Prosecutor Dzidzai Josiah applied for a postponement stating that their witness wasn’t in attendance as she was recovering after recently giving birth. Said Josiah:
<blockquote>
Accused person wasn’t brought to court by prisons and we are also seeking a postponement of this matter to September 29, the State will request that she be brought to court on that date for trial commencement.
The complainant recently gave birth through C-section and she needs time to recover, so she is not in attendance today.
</blockquote>
Mai TT’s lawyer, Admire Masango, consented to the postponement.
Allegations were that in September 2022, Mai TT approached Rachel Mhuka saying she was in need of US$10 000 so that she could start a business.
She allegedly volunteered to give Mhuka a Mercedes Benz (AFF9759), which she claimed belonged to her, as surety.
Mai TT told Mhuka that she would forfeit the Mercedes Benz in the event that she failed to repay the US$10 000 on or before 30 November 2022.

Jailed Mai TT In Court No Show

<a href="https://pindula.co.zw/Mai_Titi">Mai TT</a> says God put her in prison for a reason and she has come to terms with the fact that jail will be her home for the next several months.
Speaking exclusively to <a href="https://www.hmetro.co.zw/in-god-she-trusts-mai-tt-speaks-exclusively-from-prison/">H-Metro</a> on Monday on the sidelines of a party hosted for the children of inmates at Chikurubi Female Prison, Mai TT, whose real name is Felistas Murata, said:
<blockquote>
I am yet to accept that I have to stay behind these walls and get used to such an uncomfortable environment.
What came into my mind on my second day in my cell was my idea of visiting this same prison years ago.
I pleaded with prison officials to allow me to spend one night with inmates, but they denied me that chance, arguing that their protocol does not consider such requests.
I was touched by the living conditions of inmates, especially innocent babies, accompanying their mothers in prison.
I wanted to know more and little did I know that one day I would be counted among inmates kwete zvekunyepera kana kukumbira.
I want to believe that God is the one who gave me the idea to visit the prison and donate sanitary wear and food that year.
Ndakazarurirwa kuti ndiMwari akazoona zvakanaka kuti ndiuye nenzira inouya nevazhinji vavo.
A new chapter of my life has started and I need more grace to endure until I complete my sentence.
Ndiwo unonzi mutsanyo uyu, ndakamboramba kudya asi ndinonzwa kushumirwa neumwe mutowo, it’s painful.
It is my prayer that all those mocking me continue to do so, maybe, I will find favour in God’s eyes and He will get me out of this place.
God is in control and His grace will take me through the race.
</blockquote>
The party was hosted by Collen Abrahams, who is the son-in-law of Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Service Commissioner General, Moses Chihobvu.
Mai TT was last week sentenced to an effective nine (9) months imprisonment following her conviction for theft of trust property.
She was sentenced to 12 months imprisonment, 6 months were suspended on condition that she doesn’t commit a similar offense in the next 5 years. It means she will serve an effective 6 months for the offence.
During the trial at the Harare Magistrates Court, it emerged that Mai TT defaulted on a court order, to perform community service once, following a conviction for assault eight years ago.
For defaulting on 105 hours of community service, Mai TT was ordered to serve 3 months in prison.
In total, Mai TT will serve 9 months in prison.

Mai TT Convicted Of Theft Of Trust Property

Zimbabwean comedian and musician, Mai Titi (Mai TT), whose real name is Felistas Murata, has accused her ex-husband and her former friend of leaking her nudes.
In an interview with <a href="https://www.chronicle.co.zw/mai-tt-nudes-leak-blames-ex-hubby/">Chronicle</a>, Mai TT said she had no doubt that her ex-husband, (name supplied) and her former friend, (name supplied) were responsible for the leak.
She said she has since notified authorities in Zimbabwe and the United States of America of the cyber-bullying and revenge porn violation.
Revenge porn is revealing or sexually explicit images or videos of a person posted on the internet, typically by a former sexual partner, without the consent of the subject and in order to cause them distress or embarrassment.
Mai TT’s former husband is reportedly based in the United States of America and was allegedly the one who sent the pictures and video to the comedian’s friend. Said Mai TT:
<blockquote>
The only person who had my nudes is my ex-husband who gave them to (name supplied).
I’ve already reported them both in the countries they live in and here in Zimbabwe.
I don’t have any relationship with her (former friend). I don’t know what she is fighting.
Revenge (from ex-husband) because he knows he is never going to step in Zimbabwe due to the money he stole and I put him on the wanted list.
</blockquote>
The pictures, which show Mai TT completely naked appear to have been shot off a video call.
Under the Cyber Security and Data Protection Act, the transmission of intimate images without consent is a criminal offence.
For example, you cannot send someone’s nude pictures without that person’s consent.
It is also not allowed to take someone’s intimate pictures without them agreeing to it.

Social media personality <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Mai_Titi">Mai TT</a> appeared in court on Thursday, 02 March 2023 on allegations of defrauding a Harare woman of US$10 000.
According to <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/mai-titi-appears-in-court/">The Herald</a>, Mai TT, whose real name is Felistas Murata (36), borrowed the US$10 000 on the pretext that she wanted to venture into business and offered a hired car as collateral security.
She was not asked to plead to fraud and theft of trust property charges when she appeared at the Harare Magistrates Court.
The court heard that in September 2022, Mai TT approached Rachel Mhuka saying she was in need of US$10 000 so that she could start a business.
She allegedly volunteered to give Mhuka a Mercedes Benz (AFF9759), which she claimed belonged to her, as surety.
Mai TT told Mhuka that she would forfeit the Mercedes Benz in the event that she failed to repay the US$10 000 on or before 30 November 2022.
The State alleges that acting on the misrepresentation, Mhuka gave Murata US$10 000.
After some days, Mai Titi allegedly returned to Mhuka and demanded back the car saying it did not belong to her.
She allegedly offered Mhuka an Audi Q5 (AFG3701) and an expired passport as surety.
Sometime in January this year, Mhuka was then approached by police from ZRP Rhodesville, who then seized the Audi Q5 saying it belonged to Else Event Car Hire.
Mhuka then lodged a complaint with the police leading to Mai TT’s arrest.
It is further alleged that Mai Titi approached Liberty Kudakwashe Vazhura at Else Car Rental intending to hire an Audi Q5.
Vazhura and Mai Titi then entered into an agreement where she was supposed to pay US$770 per week and a lease agreement was signed.
She failed to make the weekly payments, which prompted Vazhura to order her to return the car.
Vazhura then reported the matter to Rhodesville Police Station.
The car was recovered from Mhuka’s place of residence where Mai Titi had surrendered it as collateral.
In the fraud case, Mai TT was remanded to April 20 while the theft of trust property matter was remanded to March 21.
She was granted free bail on both charges.

Mai TT Arrested For Fraud, Theft Of Trust Property

Comedienne and socialite, Mai TT, whose real name is Felistas Murata, has been sued for defamation by her estranged husband, Tinashe Maphosa.
In a Facebook post this week, the comedienne shared her summons, which are now before the High Court.
Maphosa is the plaintiff and is demanding US$250,000 from the defendant Mai TT for defamation of character. Mai has vowed that she was not going to pay a cent. Reads the documents:
<blockquote>
Plaintiff’s claim against the Defendant is for payment of the sum of US$250 000.00 (Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand United States Dollars) being defamation damages.
The damages arises from statements made by the Defendant on her social media platforms, which include Facebook through her social media handle called ‘Mai TT’s Diaries’ wherein Defendant stated that, the Plaintiff is a serial liar, abusive, rapist and criminal who used the Defendant’s name to borrow money.
Furthermore, the article went on to insinuate that the Plaintiff was a criminal who has perfected his art of planning his moves before striking to manipulate his victims.
Such words were untrue, wrongful and were intended to injure Plaintiff’s reputation. Plaintiff also claims interest and cost of suit.
</blockquote>
Mai TT and Maphosa married in the United Kingdom in November 2021 and wedded in Zimbabwe in April 2022.
The wedding was attended by high-profile personalities, including popular South African musician Kelly Khumalo, who performed at the event.
Mai TT claimed that the wedding cost US$100 000 which left her in debt. | <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/comedienne-mai-tt-sued-us250000-by-estranged-husband-tinashe-maphosa/">NewZimbabwe.com</a>

Mai TT Sued For US$250 000 By Estranged Husband Tinashe Maphosa

Comedienne, Mai TT, whose real name is Felistas Murata, says marriage has no formula and married people can still have problems even if they do everything right.
Mai TT, who has been having challenges in her marriage, posted her remarks on Facebook.
Critics believe Mai TT was taking a dig at another comedienne Madam Boss, who is reportedly facing serious marital challenges. Wrote Mai TT:
<blockquote>
Marriage has got no formula 
Each time when a man does his shenanigans we blame women, hee dressing, character, personality bla bla bla come on guys.
A man will still cheat on his decent and perfect wife who he met whilst she was still a virgin.
A man will cheat on his wife despite the wife being respectful, responsible and beautiful.
Beauty will not keep a man, even brains will not, respect, and being faithful won’t keep him too.
Even if you are the sexiest woman on earth if a man wants to cheat he will do so with the least of the person you were expecting. So let’s not do fault-finding in relationships, some men married strippers they met in the pub till now they are together. 
Some men get beaten by their wives but they are still together and you wonder what are they still doing there.
Some men live with the most talkative wives ever but still, they are going strong. 
Love, Marriage and how to keep it longer is unknown, it’s an unknown equation.
If you are in a perfect marriage or relationship then thank your God because it is not a bed of roses.
Whilst you are at it do not laugh at those failing to keep their relationships, they also are putting in effort just like you are doing. 
When it turns out bad It is also up to you to stay or leave, you do not need any advice when you are the one wearing the shoe. You know how painful it is.
However normalizing cheating is one of the most painful things ever.
There are really good people out there who are still asking themselves, what did I really do? or where did I get it wrong?
But hey listen! You did the best you could to keep it together but what keeps someone is someone who wants to be kept.

Marriage Has No Formula, Beauty, Brains, Virginity Don't Matter, Says Mai TT

Comedienne Mai TT, whose real name is Felistus Murata, said she set her wedding gown alight to completely erase that chapter of her life when she was married to Tinashe Maphosa.
Mai TT told <a href="https://www.hmetro.co.zw/why-i-burnt-my-us6k-gown-mai-tt/">H-Metro</a> that burning the wedding garment, which was valued at US$6 000, following the collapse of her short-lived marriage to Maphosa signified that not everything is meant to be sold. She said:
<blockquote>
I can never sell my pain to anyone. I did my prayers and wiped my tears with that gown, which is symbolic that not everything is meant to be sold.
This is a personal matter and I’m expecting answers from it.
Nobody influences me, I influence myself and my tears never fall in vain.
No amount can pay back the pain of betrayal.
That gown will be my contact.
… I’ve burnt it in public and the answer will return where I burnt it from.
</blockquote>
Mai TT’s wedding ceremony in April this year reportedly gobbled up US$100 000 and left her neck-deep in debt.
But soon after the wedding, Mai TT started claiming that Tinashe was a smooth and shrewd criminal.
She said her estranged husband has perfected the art of planning his moves, before striking to manipulate his victims.

Mai TT Explains Why She Burnt Her US$6 000 Wedding Gown

Popular comedienne, outspoken Mai TT (real name Felistas Murata) over the weekend sat down with NewsDay Life &amp; Style and spoke about her love life and other issues including dispelling rumors that she snatched someone’s husband.
Speaking to the publication Mai TT said she met her new lover after breaking up with her former lover Zizoe:
<blockquote>It is not true for people to say I announced the dates for my wedding. I am in a relationship with Mr Obina. We have been in love for seven months now and we truly love each other. He takes care of me and my kids, but we have not yet announced wedding dates,” she said.
“The other issue that has been stressing me is to hear people say I snatched someone’s man. I did not snatch him (Obina) from anyone. He was single when I met him and had been divorced for three years. He is my man now.”</blockquote>
Speaking about how they met Mai Titi said she met Obina through his brother:
<blockquote>It is quite interesting how I met Mr Obina. It was his brother who is one of my social media followers who hooked us up soon after my separation with Zizoe.
His brother told me that Mr Obina was in the same situation as mine and had pledged not to engage in a relationship anymore because of what he went through in his previous marriage.
This only changed when we met and decided to give this relationship a go and now we are in a strong relationship</blockquote>
Her lover only identified as Mr Obina confirmed their love story and said they were planning on getting married:
<blockquote>Yes, I am dating Mai Titi. My brother has been a follower of her (Mai Titi) and he got to link us. The wedding date has not been announced yet as we have not yet agreed on it. We are still planning. I have been divorced for the past three years and it was exactly the same time when Mai Titi had a breakup with her ex, Zizoe. We did not meet by accident, we were actually hooked up by my brother.
…I am a reserved person. I don’t want to discuss my affair on social media. I am only responding to your questions because you asked and this is going to be my last because I prefer my life to be as private as it has been all this while.
The last time Mai Titi came to South Africa, I had to go and meet her in Johannesburg, but because of this useless talk, speculation and gossip that has been on social media I decided to tell her to come and see for herself. That is why she is here in Durban, at my house, my area, this is where I am known.</blockquote>
Mai TT a few weeks ago was ordered to <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2020/10/06/high-court-orders-mai-tt-to-pay-her-ex-friend-500k/">pay a friend she attacked on social media ZWL $500000</a> by the High Court.
