DISGRACE: Makosi bares all

• Makosi lost virginity to Chiyangwa aged 16

• Makosi dated polygamous Mugabe cousin

• Big Brother: Makosi defended

• Every Zimbabwean should be ashamed

• Kudzai eliminated from Project Fame

• Kudzai through to last 16 in Project Fame

• British hit reality show heads for Africa

THIS is the bare torso of Makosi Musambasi as seen by seven million British television viewers on Tuesday night.

The 24-year-old cardiac nurse who grew up searching for fame and ended up in Phillip Chiyangwa’s bed is taking part in the hit British reality TV show Big Brother.

Last week, her dad Rich Musambasi said: “Kosie is a good girl. She will not do anything bad. I am sure she will make us proud.”

If this is not bad, then what is?

New Zimbabwe.com was slated by hundreds of Big Brother fans when we first raised attention to Makosi’s odd antics.

This vociferous group who would cheer a public execution by no means represents the wider working class Zimbabwean public making an honest living.

The picture they portray is that of a few belligerent conservatives holding the country back and pulling down the shutters to civilisation and modernity.

Hardly!

Makosi’s case is about a poisonous mole burrowing into the core values that have held our societies together for centuries.

The British taste of decency certainly is too liberal. What is entertainment in Britain often has an air of voyeurism and there is a shared delight in blood sports. Being gay is seen as advancement, no wonder there are THREE of them in the Big Brother house.

Sadly, Makosi has put herself and Zimbabwe among this disparate gaggle put up for public humiliation by television executives, rather like foxes released then chased down with hounds. Entertainment, they say. But it doesn’t make it morally right.

Makosi has put her senses aside, reinvented herself and entered this freak show driven by desperation for fame. A nurse today, Makosi hopes to wake up tomorrow perched high up the celebrity ladder and surrounded by wealth and affluence.

But the reality is different. With no other talent besides caring for the sick, Makosi, like the rest of her housemates, will fall down with a thud when she suffers the cruel blow of mass public rejection when she is voted out.

For all the wrong that has gone on in Zimbabwe, we should pride ourselves in maintaining laws that block the dark alleyways now being used to smuggle this kind of titillating “modernity” bordering on exploitation.

New Zimbabwe.com will not tire in pulling down these Z-list celebrities exploiting our basest instincts to march through a twisted cultural revolution.
