Harare – Popular Zimbabwean comedian and socialite Felistas Murata, widely known as Mai Titi, has sparked a storm of online criticism following a live broadcast in which she repeatedly referred to her husband only as “murume uya uya” (that man) rather than calling him “my husband.” The remarks were made during a one-hour livestream in which Mai Titi appeared to address matters involving her estranged partner, believed to be Tinashe Shumba Viewers were quick to note the glaring absence of affectionate or marital reference, with many interpreting the phrase “murume uya uya” as emotionally detached and demeaning A Facebook post by user OC went viral after mocking Mai Titi’s phrasing, saying: “Justice for Shumba, live 1 hour yese kupfuurwa vachingonzi ‘murume uya uya,’ kana kumbonzi ‘my husband.’ Iiii zvinhu zvekudaro hazvifi zvakaita zvewanano Clearly hapana nezve marriage apa, it’s just a friendship with benefits.” OC questioned the authenticity of the marriage and suggested that the use of such distant language signals the absence of genuine commitment, adding: “How can you refer to your husband one hour into the conversation as if you’re talking about a stranger?” The post drew heated reactions in the comments section One user, Chipo Musukutwa, clapped back: “Iwe warwadziwa nei Ndewako here Refer to your own as ‘my husband’ and let everyone else refer to theirs whichever way they like.” Another user, Cynthia Mandara, defended Mai Titi, saying: Source: Zimeye All Zim News is a central hub for all things Zimbabwean, curating news from across the country so no story is missed Alongside aggregation, our team of nationwide reporters provides real-time, on-the-ground coverage Stay informed and connected — reach us at admin@allzimnews.com.
