By Jane Mlambo| Controversial comedienne Felistas Edwards better known as Mai Titi has torched storm in United Kingdom after mocking Zimbabweans in the diaspora of “kugeza chembere” to earn living while bragging of her riches back home.
Mai Titi is in the United Kingdom and is believed to be staying with a cousin. She recorded a video where she bragged that she does not need asylum as she is rich back home in Zimbabwe.
She also accused Diasporans in UK of surviving on caregiving jobs (kugeza chembere).
This was after someone accused her of lying about threats on her life back in Zimbabwe to seek asylum in the UK.
This did not go down well with Zimbabweans in the UK who hit back accusing Mai Titi of being insincere to the people who helped her to be where she is now.
“The issue about what Felly did hurts everyone. I am not getting any assistance from UK but I know indirectly I am benefiting including iye wacho. Most of us are self employed and those formally employed vane tuma business paside we all bank on each other’s income for our businesses to grow. She was angered by a few people and yet she insults every one in the UK, she is staying in someone’s house muUK but she generalised her insults. She has shows where the same people she insults are supposed to attend. Kwedu ndo type dziya dzatinoti kumuchato kana nhamo dzemumusha musavaudza haana hana. What is she teaching her kids. Ummmmm I have never been her fan but I felt for her when she was dumped by Zizoe but honestly speaking who needs a daughter in law like her. That is so sad,” said one lady commenting in one of the all women Faceboom groups.
Many other women had no kind words for Mai Titi and below are some of the comments;
“…mukanwa make uya Colgate yakatomutadza makuda Jik, ungatuke vanhu variku supporter kuti asvike paari imari dzevarikugeza chembere”
Others who commented on Nomathemba Primrose Ndebele’s Facebook page also laid into Mai Titi for insulting the same people who invited her to the United Kingdom.
“Nhamo ari kuiona kunani mu isolation? Was she not invited for shows by the same people she is dissing? Mwari ndiye anoziva mhinduro”
“Ini ndakageza chembere from the day I landed in Australia until I finished university. It’s flexible, you can work around it with University timetable. Pay yangu paid my fees and funded my very comfortable living. If an artist can utter such words then she should never go to the diaspora to perform because it’s those jobs that are paying the entry fees.”
