Lady Zamar retells her truth about being raped by Sjava on a newly premiered Showmax documentary series titled Unfollowed.
The show which is hosted by Thembekile Mrototo unpacks the growing phenomenon of cancel culture and its impact in South Africa.
In 2017, Lady Zamar opened a case of rape against Sjava, who maintained his innocence. The National Prosecuting Authority declined to prosecute, citing insufficient evidence.
In the first episode of the series, Lady Zamar reflected on everything that happened, as well as the continuous backlash she still receives on social media. Journalists, activists, and legal experts.
She claimed her boyfriend urged her to speak out about being raped by Sjava as he was tired of her lamenting and crying.
“When I started my boyfriend, I think it was August of that year, he was very tired. He was like I can’t keep listening to you talk about this, you cry every single day, and you are always a mess and every time you’re around people you keep smiling. Nobody knows, so we have to deal with this all the time, so I decided to speak out and say this is what happened,” the singer said.
Lady Zamar’s supporters took to Twitter to show her love and exude support for her.
