Zimbabwean Influencer Shadaya Tawona Knight Seeks Police Assistance After Receiving Threats

Zimbabwean controversial influencer Shadaya Tawona Knight has taken to social media to appeal to the Zimbabwe Republic Police for assistance after receiving threats on his life.

Shadaya, who has been receiving constant threats on his life and family from unidentified people, is now living in fear.

His appeal to the police comes barely a day after he publicly disclosed that he has been receiving threats on his life. He, however, vowed that he is going to continue to speak his mind and not let the threats deter or scare him off.

Taking to his Facebook account, Shadaya tagged the Zimbabwe Police handle as he appealed for their assistance. Shadaya revealed that he has been getting constant threats on his life and family for the past week.

“@PoliceZimbabwe I greatly require your assistance. Normally I wouldn’t bring such issues out on public platforms as they can be misinterpreted, but I have no other option. I have been getting constant threats on my life and family as well for the past week”

Shadaya disclosed that initially he ignored the threats, assuming they were just pranks. However, his perspective changed when he began receiving concerned messages from his family and friends.

They informed him that unidentified individuals had been approaching them, asking about his whereabouts and seeking other personal information.

“I ignored it initially as pranks but when I start getting messages from family and friends about unidentified people asking about my routine, location and other information, I have to take it seriously”

The influencer stated that his family and friends are now worried and concerned about his safety due to the constant threats they have been receiving. Shadaya disclosed that, at times, they even receive in-person threats indicating that he is “wanted.”

Shadaya argued that he has not committed any criminal offence that would justify the kind of threats he has been receiving.

“My family and friends are very worried about my safety, constantly getting messages and even in person threats that “I’m wanted”. To my knowledge I have not committed any crime, neither have I even said anything that can be regarded as a crime. Unless talking about societal issues is a crime.”
