‘Boys DzeTonaz’ finally speak out on
Emily Kachote leaked indecent pics
BOYZ
Dze Tonaz, accused of leaking pictures of top models, including reigning Miss
World Zimbabwe Emily Kachote in the nude on social media platforms, have denied
the accusations and said the rumours had negatively impacted their business.
Speaking
to NewsDay, an executive of Boyz Dze Tonaz, Denford Jiro
yesterday said that they had nothing to do with the pictures.
“Boyz
Dze Tonaz refutes allegations suggesting a plot to discredit the Miss Zimbabwe
pageant and its models. These allegations, in our view, are designed to cause
deliberate damage to one of Zimbabwe’s leading urban wear brands,” Jiro said.
“We
are disappointed by people who are trying to tarnish our brand by implicating
us in Miss World Zimbabwe nude pictures saga claiming that we are in the habit
of dating models and later leak pictures of them.”
Jiro
said they had no relations with those responsible for leaking the pictures and
their official WhatsApp group was a social platform that brought together
several “like-minded and mature” businesspeople to share progressive business
ideas.
“Any
suggestions of notoriety are unfounded and must be dismissed with the contempt
they deserve,” he said.
Although
Jiro confirmed that they had a WhatsApp group under the label Boyz Dze Tonaz —
from which the controversial pictures allegedly emanated — he denied reports
that the pictures were leaked from their WhatsApp account.
He
said since WhatsApp groups were not registered like websites, there could be a
million groups by the name Boyz Dze Tonaz.
“No
one among us has the pictures. Personally, I have never seen them. I think it
is unfair to link us to those pictures because it is damaging our brand,” he
said, adding that their brand had suffered significant damage as a result.
Jiro
said they suspected they could be many other people using their brand name in
the country, who could have been responsible for leaking the pictures that have
stained the Miss World Zimbabwe brand.
The
Miss World Zimbabwe nudity storm reached a peak following widespread reports
that a group calling itself Boyz Dze Tonaz, whose members reportedly flashed
cash around town, was in the habit of dating top models who they scandalised
after they were crowned.
According
to Miss Zimbabwe Trust regulations, a beauty queen who makes it in the Miss
World Zimbabwe pageant is not allowed to be in a romantic relationship during
the tenure of her reign.
The
Boyz Dze Tonaz crew is alleged to be on a campaign to taint the image of Miss
Zimbabwe Trust and its models by leaking their nude pictures after dating them.
“Boyz
DzeTonaz clothing line is made up of enterprising business youths who are only
concerned about making a living through hard work and not anything else. We are
shocked about what is being alleged,” Jiro said.
The
group was said to be responsible for the leakage of former Miss World Zimbabwe
Thabiso Phiri’s pictures in the nude.
Thabiso later resigned.
Thabiso later resigned.
Boyz
Dze Tonaz is an urban wear brand with a range of clothing items including
branded caps, T-shirts and vests
