Mai TT Publicly Apologises to Farai Jere’s Wife After US$100K Defamation Lawsuit
In a move that surprised many, controversial comedienne and socialite Mai TT has publicly apologised to businesswoman Shingirayi Ziwange Jere, the same woman who recently filed a US$100,000 defamation lawsuit against her.
Shingirayi, the wife of CAPS United boss and Zanu PF legislator Farai Jere, took legal action after Mai TT accused her of threatening behaviour, masterminding assaults, and abusing the justice system in a Facebook post on 9 June 2025.
The apology marks a rare moment of humility for Mai TT, who is usually known for her refusal to back down in public disputes.
Taking to Facebook, she admitted fault and expressed deep regret:
“I would like to offer my deepest and most sincere apology to Hon. Farai Jere and his wife, Mrs Shingi Ziwange-Jere, for the posts made on social media regarding you. I regret the hurt and distress caused and take full responsibility for my actions. It was never my intention to bring harm or disrespect. I acknowledge the damage done. Please accept this apology with genuine remorse.”
Shingirayi Jere’s legal team, led by lawyer Admire Rubaya, had previously slammed the accusations as entirely false and damaging. They claimed Mai TT’s remarks painted Jere as a “criminal queenpin” and were meant to destroy her reputation.
Apart from the civil lawsuit, Jere also filed a criminal complaint against Mai TT under Zimbabwe’s Cyber and Data Protection Act, accusing her of cyberbullying, harassment, and spreading false information.
Before issuing her apology, Mai TT had hinted at a change of heart on social media.
“I have never created a fake account or utilised a ghost account to attack anyone, as I believe in expressing myself directly and honestly. However, when I respond to someone who has initially attacked me, I am often perceived as being in the wrong. I am willing to accept that there are certain conflicts that cannot be won. I often wonder what I have done to provoke such behaviour, but I recognise that some individuals will fabricate reasons to criticise me”.
