She\u2019s lost three or four cases with us. She just doesn\u2019t want to apologise,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll I said was, \u2018Ntsiki, if you apologise on the same platforms where you said what you said and leave it there for 30 days, then we can forget about everything.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that failing to apologise could lead to serious financial consequences for her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not a case of me trying to be brutal and malicious. Just apologise \u2014 and if you don\u2019t, I\u2019ll take it the whole nine yards. By the time I\u2019m done, she won\u2019t be allowed to have one bank account,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ntsiki didn\u2019t take the comments lightly and wasted no time responding on social media.<\/p>\n<p>She accused Euphonik of lying and twisting the narrative.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t lie. Stop making up stories to suit your broken masculinity, buti. I\u2019m not your plaything,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI have f***en been paying, idiot. And he also admitted I had started paying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She went on to clarify that she had already complied with the court order and was fulfilling her financial obligations, but that an apology was never part of the judgment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not my responsibility to apologise for something I didn\u2019t do. The judge didn\u2019t order that. I am paying the debt as instructed. So what is the problem?\u201d Ntsiki said.<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 4 -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Ntsiki #Mazwai #fires #Euphonik #demands #public #apology #rape #claims<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; Ntsiki Mazwai Outspoken poet and activist Ntsiki Mazwai has clapped back at DJ Euphonik after he publicly called for&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":41518,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-41517","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mzansi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41517","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41517"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41517\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":41519,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41517\/revisions\/41519"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41518"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41517"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41517"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41517"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
