Businesswoman Tashmiswa Distances Herself from Fraud Suspect’s “Fake Lifestyle”

Businesswoman Tashmiswa has distanced herself from alleged fraud suspect Frazer Zimba, who recently made headlines after being arrested over alleged scams amounting to more than K700 million.

Zimba, who reportedly calls himself as an engineer, was arrested alongside four accomplices after they were tracked down in Neno. The suspects are currently being kept at Area 3 Police Station.

The arrest came as videos resurfaced on social media showing Zimba living a flashy lifestyle, including one clip where he is seen dancing in a nightclub while smoking shisha and splashing money on Tashmiswa.

However, in a public clarification, Tashmiswa said the moment captured in the video was purely social and does not mean she was involved in Zimba’s alleged fraudulent activities.

She explained that she only knew Zimba as someone she had previously gone to school with, and she later learned about his alleged conduct.

Tashmiswa further revealed that she is actually one of the victims, saying Zimba stole her vehicle last year, a matter she immediately reported to the police.

“I therefore wish to firmly distance myself from Mr. Zimba and from any activities associated with him. I kindly ask the public not to associate my name with matters involving him,” she said.

The development has sparked discussion online, with many pointing out that the luxurious lifestyle Zimba displayed on social media may have been a “fake life” funded through alleged fraudulent activities.
