Popular Mzansi singer Lady Zamar is featured on the first episode of Showmax Original series, Unfollowed, as she unpacks her experience of cancel culture and the rape allegation against a fellow musician.

 

In 2018, the singer-songwriter, real name Yamikani Janet Banda used her social platform to confront a fellow musician for allegedly assaulting her back in 2017. He maintains his innocence and The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) declined to prosecute, citing insufficient evidence.

In Unfollowed, news anchor and journalist Thembekile Mrototo, the Love Is Blind hitmaker peaks to how she wound up in a long-term relationship that she claims began in rape, and why it took her so long to accept what had happened to her and speak out.

“I come from a very religious background, and I was taught not to be alone with men. The very first day, I felt like it was my fault. And so I felt like I had no leg to stand on… I struggled to walk away from it because I constantly blamed myself,” she tells Mrototo.
