The woman from Gweru who captured the attention of social media users with her placard seeking a husband in the City Centre has come forward to clarify that it was not a genuine search, but rather a content creation for TikTok.
Speaking on 98.4 Midlands FM, the woman, identified as Susan, revealed that she has a boyfriend and the placard was simply part of one of her skits.
Susan explained that her intention was never to actually find a man through her viral placard search. She stated,
“I wasn’t actually looking for a man; it was simply a TikTok content idea. I also want to clarify that I do have a boyfriend”.
