I HAVE been following the ongoing debates on Makosi Musambasi with some interest, both here in the UK, and across the African media, and I am amused at some of the reporting in the last week.
I had the misfortune to be present when a drunken Miss Musambasi nearly peed herself at Chinawhite in London last week. Not a pretty sight.
Makosi has crashed from B-list to Z-list in a little over a week.
The woman has no class at all. She is paddling in the shallow end of the gene pool, mixing with airhead models, soap actors and football players. It is very sad. A so called “friend” with her on the night allegedly took a bung from a pap photographer to get Makosi’s picture taken, once she had been plied with copious amounts of alcohol and was quite drunk.
Even her remaining friends are selling her out and making some cash from her while the media is still interested!
Ah yes, that brings me to my next point. Money! Rumours are now rife, that Makosi has earned in excess of £100,000, through many personal appearances, magazine shoots and articles for newspapers.
At least two of these were for £20,000 alone and she is known to have done quite a few. Recent unconfirmed estimates for the fees paid to her, are said to possibly exceed £200,000, in the six weeks since Big Brother finished.
Bearing that in mind, why has there as yet, been no reports of an attempt to set up Sennie’s (Makosi's mum) badly needed, operation? Makosi has more than enough money for it, even after buying all those new Jimmy Choos. Is it another emotional con on Makosi’s part?
Many people here in the UK are thinking it is and are no longer listening to her pleas to stay. The public feel that Makosi has thrown the support they offered her back in their faces.
The calls for Makosi to go were heard even louder last week after the recent revelations of her involvement with an English football player surfaced. Apparently this is Makosi’s new ploy, to either get pregnant or married in order to try and stave off deportation from the UK. This could already be too late though.
I have heard, from a very accurate source, that officials at the UK Home Office have allegedly said, that the review of Makosi’s visa situation is already complete and a decision will be made public on October 20th.
Her agent has confirmed last week in the UK national press, that Makosi will be informed by the Home Office on October 20th of the investigations outcome. It is now certain that she will be given a leaving date, by which she is to be returned to Zimbabwe, at that review meeting. She is then expected to leave the UK sometime within the following 28 day period.
Apparently, her far from contrite behaviour over the last couple of weeks has hardened both official and public opinion against her. She has given the UK public the finger. Makosi has basically managed to get herself deported. She can blame no one else.
More revelations will probably surface in the next few weeks as Makosi’s deportation looms and she becomes ever desperate to stay. As yet unconfirmed are revelations that Makosi recently posed for new topless pictures.
Or the other one, that alleges Makosi has made renewed, desperate attempts to get help from Phillip Chiyangwa and had been recently trying to contact him in Zimbabwe, though without success thus far? Perhaps he too has deserted the sinking ship?
