By Showbiz Reporter | The socialite Madam Boss (Tyra Chikocho) was downgraded at the weekend by Zimbabweans who are complaining about her recent shooting down of a campaign against child marriage in Marange.
The development comes after she passed comments seen by many as mocking women who are protesting against the death of 14 year old child rape-victim, Memory Machaya.
Speaking in a live video during the week, Madam Boss said those complaining must do it on their own.
While flashing out a snarl, Madam Boss said:
“Congratulations ladies, after you have finished your protests…do set off on your journey to Marange on your own.
“After you have finished come back to us to announce to us what you have done, we will just post It saying: job well done.”
Meanwhile, Madam Boss, has offered an apology saying she was quoted out of context. Her unedited comment states:
Once Again Am Sorry to all my fans and all the corporates that I represent
I’m a very peaceful person who mostly like to keep to myself and stick to what I know best , entertaining my fans even those that mock me , I’ve been accused of many things and called different names but I have never cared because I know myself, I’m a mother and also a women and my heart bleeds each time I see a women or a girl child suffer.That’s why I always post any issues concerning abuse of a girl child .
I chose not keep quiet on this occasion because the Marange shrine issue is one that has touched my heart and I’m pained that my live video a few days ago was taken out of context however I’m here today apologizing to each and everyone that was offended by that video and also to say I’m personally against child marriages and strongly hope the culprits of the Marange shrine be brought to book. JusticeForMemory.
But Zimbabweans have continued complaining her actions, with some comments stating that she does not support the girl child.
Commenting on the development, Minesotta African Women Director Comfort Dondo said: “We need a new set of social influencers who have sober minds and renewed minds who are seeking to influence and inspire than just the popularity.
“On the instance of Madam Boss with these comments,in such an insensitive manner I am appalled, considering she is a woman who has a daughter and also followed by a lot of women.
“These reckless comments do more harm.”
