Good morning Zuva Nation, Friends and Followers.
It is with a heavy heart that I write this text you. From the moment I started this journey, you have stood by me and with me, supporting me every step of the way. I am humbled by your unwavering support and for that, I’m forever grateful. Without you, there would be no Zuva Urban Tete. Thank you from the depths of my heart.
It is in this vein that I come to you, asking you to please accept my heartfelt apologies for the direction Zuva Urban Tete has taken lately.
I’m sorry for my abhorrent behaviour and I take full responsibility for my actions and the negativity that has resulted from them. I realize that my family, my friends and my followers have been affected by it and that grieves my heart.

Being in the social media business, it is expected that one had to have a thick skin. Being that as it may, I am human and the negativity took its toll on me. Unfortunately, I lashed out at the wrong people in the quest to retaliate on those that I felt were attacking me.
I understand social media and have had the ability to differentiate between social media and reality, sadly the negativity and the need to respond to it had me mixing up the two.
When I joined social media my intention was to share and learn new things and absolutely nothing else. I appreciate that lots of women and men look up to me as an influencer and I need to be responsible in my actions. My behaviour online lately has been inexcusable and will I promise you, I am working on fixing myself for you.
Lastly, I apologize for abusing my platform to attack individuals and other socialites. That was uncalled for and my actions were regrettable. I got caught up in a sticky web that I should have avoided at all costs.
My appeal to Zuva Nation and visitors to please be patient with me while I work on myself. I promise to be better. I’m taking this stand because of my love and respect for you. I have loved my job and all the interactions with you. I want us to continue learning from each other and growing. My goal is to be the best version of Zuva Urban Tete and with your forgiveness and patience I know it’s possible.
I have decided to stay off social media until a time I feel I can add value to you as opposed to being toxic to you. Like I always tell you: always strive to be the best version of yourselves. keep those words with you till I bounce back. Also, remember to forget what you give and never expect anything in return and never forget to forgive.
