Ma1💔 | Mahere faces, yet another $100,000 defamation lawsuit from TinMac Motors
Fadzayi Mahere is being sued again for US$100,000 by TinMac Motors, a company linked to Youth Minister Tinomudaishe Machakaire. This is the second defamation case against her in one week, making the total amount she’s being sued for US$200,000.
The latest lawsuit is about posts Mahere made on X (formerly Twitter) between July 5 and July 7, 2025. In those posts, she questioned how Minister Machakaire got money to buy luxury cars and suggested he was involved in corruption, theft, and misuse of public funds.
TinMac Motors, through their lawyer Admire Rubaya, says Mahere’s posts damaged the company’s image. They claim she made it look like TinMac was involved in criminal activities, such as tax evasion and abusing government benefits. The company also says she wrongly linked them to the Minister, who they say is not a director or shareholder in the company.
In a letter sent to Mahere’s office in Harare, TinMac demands that she:
- Delete the posts
- Apologise publicly within 24 hours
- Show proof for her claims
If she doesn’t do this, they say they will go to court to claim the US$100,000 in damages.
The company also says that even though Mahere asked questions in her posts, the way she did it made it seem like TinMac and the Minister were guilty. They believe this was done on purpose to avoid being direct, but it still harmed their reputation.
These lawsuits come after Mahere publicly criticised government officials for corruption and spending public money unfairly.
