Violet Avoid, the Zimbabwean filmmaker and journalist who recently made headlines after rumors of her death circulated, is indeed alive, according to her husband, Tichaona Martin Madzikanda.
In a recent video posted on Violet's Facebook page, Tichaona clarified that his wife did not attempt suicide but suffered from severe food poisoning while working in a foreign city.
Contrary to reports claiming that Violet had ingested rat poison, Tichaona confirmed that she is currently unconscious and hospitalized, relying on life support. He explained that individuals accompanying her mistakenly conveyed incorrect information to contacts on Violet's list, leading to the false reports of her death.
Tichaona also addressed a video posted by Violet two months ago, where she discussed a rape incident. Many social media users assumed that her alleged suicide attempt was connected to the mentioned incident. However, Tichaona clarified that the video was about someone else's experience and not Violet's personal story.
