Lady Zamar on life after rape case saga against Sjava
Lady Zamar discusses how she managed to live after Sjava’s rape case was dismissed, the singer filed a lawsuit against her ex-lover in 2018 alleging that he had raped her.
The Collide singer said that Sjava sexually assaulted her in 2017 at the Porche-Villa Hotel and Conference Centre in Thohoyandou.
“That morning, we were making out, kissing, and he had invited me into his hotel room. We had never been alone together, while this was happening, suddenly this person starts taking off my clothes and he raped me,” she shared.
She has, however, experienced a greater degree of cyberbullying as a result of the case being dropped for lack of evidence.
Zamar claims that she has survived by avoiding negativity in her conversation with ZiMoja.
“I block negativity. My mind has been trained to see certain cues from afar. I have people who work on my social media and they know when to block. I block negativity. I hardly see it anymore,” she says.
“My mom would advise me back then not to read the negative comments on social media and it took me time to understand that. Right now, I don’t care, you all can keep talking. Clearly, my life is interesting. If people remember their studies, more than they remember my business, then they’d be happier.”
According to Lady Zamar, this point in her life is one of self-acceptance. “I have had to do a lot of accepting. Lots of reflection,” she claims.
She’s to release a song later on that is rumoured to be motivated by the harassment she experienced.
And meanwhile, the song’s cover art is trending on social media……!
