However, at the time Shimza and Athi had kept silent on the matter. Fast-forward to May 2021, Shimza and Athi’s then-speculated relationship was back making headlines. This time, it was over the allegations that Shimza and his businesses like his restaurant, The Hang Awt, were allegedly unduly benefitting from the fact that the two were dating. A restaurant, which has also faced allegations of exploiting its workers.

Liberians protest over economic hardship and president’s absence

Liberians protest over economic hardship and president’s absence

More than a thousand people joined a demonstration in a suburb of Liberia’s capital on Saturday, protesting over economic hardships and President George Weah’s prolonged absence from the country.

Large protests have taken place sporadically during Weah’s five years in office, but anger over his government’s management of the economy has grown as Liberians grapple with rising food and fuel prices linked to the Ukraine war and fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Saturday’s rally in Monrovia’s Paynesville district was organized by a coalition of Liberia’s four largest opposition parties, but internal disputes led all but one, the Alternative National Congress (ANC), to pull out at the last minute.

“(The government) is unable to create jobs, yet the president abandoned his people,” said Prince Barclay, an electrical engineer who said he was concerned about his children’s future prospects.

Weah has been out of the country since the end of October, during which time he visited Qatar to watch his son, Timothy Weah, play for the US team in the World Cup and attended a US-Africa Leaders Summit in Washington. He is expected back on Monday.

“We expected a lot from this government but they have failed us,” Barclay added.

Lewis Brown, a prominent Liberian politician who served in the cabinets of former presidents Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and Charles Taylor, was the event’s main organiser.

“Too many people in this country are suffering, cannot pay rent, cannot pay school fees,” Brown said as she addressed the crowd. “People are tired.

Actress Enhle Mbali living in fear after n#des stolen from her phone

Rockville actress Enhle Mbali Mlotshwa has revealed that she’s living in fear after an unknown person threatened to leak revealing pictures of her to the public.

A local publication reports that the Isibaya actress Enhle Mbali says she’s living in fear after someone threatened to leak compromising pictures of her, which were stolen from her phone. “She also fired a security guard who was allegedly spying on her.”

The publication adds that the fashion designer filed a report with the police after a caller using an unknown number threatened to leak her n#des.

It is believed she discovered her private security guard was passing on confidential information to her estranged husband’s DJ Black Coffee driver.

The entrepreneur told City Press that several incidents had happened in the home that made her believe that someone was trying to take over her life. She overheard the security guard revealing her whereabouts to her ex-husband’s driver on the phone.

“I was taking my child to the doctor. As I was exiting my house, I overheard our private security guard telling someone on the phone that ‘she is leaving, she has not left yet, she is taking the kids with her’.

“I then went inside the security booth and I asked him who he is talking to. He didn’t respond to that, so I took the phone and I asked who is this. The man on the other side said: ‘Hi, ma’am. I was told to come and fetch the kids.’” She said:

“I told him that he was not telling the truth because I had emailed the father of my children and he knows that I am taking the kids to a doctor.”

Mbali believes the man on the phone was her estranged husband’s driver called Ernest.

“I took the phone and the man called again. I then gave the security guard the phone and I heard the man once again asking: ‘Is she still around.’ So the security guard kept quiet and then the man said: ‘Sezo yi susa ksasa [We will cause havoc tomorrow].’

According to the publication, the mother of two Enhle Mbali Mlotshwa learned that the security guard was sharing details of her movements with third parties and taking pictures of her guests.

“I have been feeling unsafe, I have been feeling unprotected, I have been feeling vulnerable in many ways …”

“I said I don’t feel safe with this guy here, so I asked the security company to remove him from my house.”

“I went through our security phone. This is our phone in the property that gets used by security [guards]. So, when I got the phone, I realized that there were pictures of my guests, packages for delivery, my mother’s number plates, my number plates, and conversations between the guard and another man,” she said.

“I have opened a criminal case with the police. A crime has not been committed yet, apart from my phone being tapped and we don’t know who tapped it. We have not found that out yet … I went to the police and said I am adding to this document that I have opened and the reason I have opened this docket in the first place is because I previously went on Instagram and said there is someone who keeps leaking stories to the false media.”

She received a message after that video which said that they are going to leak her nude [photo] that was on her phone that she hadn’t sent to anyone else and is in her hidden files on her phone.
