Ma1 atanga | Fadzayi Mahere Faces US$100,000 Defamation Lawsuit from Minister Machakaire
Fadzayi Mahere is facing a US$100,000 defamation lawsuit from Youth Minister Tinoda Machakaire. The lawsuit stems from a post Mahere made on X (formerly Twitter), where she appeared to accuse the minister of corruption and involvement in an US$8 million tax evasion case.
Machakaire’s lawyers say the post damaged his reputation and caused emotional and financial harm. In a letter of demand delivered to Mahere, she has been given 24 hours to delete the post and issue a public apology both online and in print.
If she does not respond, Machakaire plans to take legal action under Zimbabwe’s defamation and privacy laws.
