Sources say she
is now married to a pastor and she has changed her contact details and social
media pages.
Some of her
former friends say that Chocolate is now only reachable via Facebook.
Her former
manager, Sherpard “Sherpy Taz” Tsandukwa, who is still in touch with her,
confirmed the new path the dancer has taken.
“I am glad that
Chocolate, whom I once managed, has turned to God after winning her battle
against drug abuse.
“Many people in
strip clubs knew her as that talented dancer who turned heads on the club scene
by providing adult entertainment, but now she is a changed person.
“I met her
around 2013 and facilitated her six-month tour of China, where dancers were
needed by some club owners. She went there, and when she came back, we
continued working together as a family.
“At one point,
she had me arrested when she accused me of stealing her money but I was
acquitted after she failed to provide proof that I had committed the offence.
“I think I
worked with her until 2018, but I remained in touch as someone who had helped
her.”
Tsandukwa
expressed his shock after learning that the dancer had fallen into drug and
substance abuse.
“At one point, she was a nuisance because she was taking drugs and she lost many friends along the way.
“I had her
checked into rehab and I am glad that she is now a new person who is focusing
on God’s ministry as well as selling her beauty products in Glen View, where
she runs a stall.
“At one point,
she was in the same league as the old Beverly Sibanda, Zoey, and Pikcy, who
were popular dancers.
“She would
outclass them and, at one point, befriended Soul Jah Love, however, that
romance ended badly. What truly makes us happy now is that she has proved that
it’s never too late.”
Similar
sentiments were echoed by Harpers Mapimhidze, the president of the Dancers
Association of Zimbabwe (DAZ), which regulates all club dancers.
“I am one of
the people who celebrated when I heard that Chocolate had turned to God.
“Earlier this
year, I could not engage her for a meaningful conversation because she had
become a slave to drugs.
“She appeared
to have lost her senses, behaving erratically and being violent.
“Chocolate has
since changed her numbers, and I understand that her new partner, who also
leads the same church, doesn’t want her to talk with old friends to ensure she
doesn’t revert to her old ways, which is good for her.”
Chocolate, who
uses the name Vimbai Muzuva on social media, has been posting biblical
scriptures on her wall. H Metro
