The admission comes after the Harare Regional Magistrate Court recently found the two defendants in the case, Thabo Blessing Dube and Martin Charlie, not guilty of the rape charges brought against them.

"I Would Have Agreed to Date Thabo," Mai Jeremaya Reveals

During her appearance on the podcast, Mai Jeremaya reportedly delved into the events surrounding the case. She revealed that the initial contact came via WhatsApp from someone she believed to be named "Sam Trucks," who she now claims was actually Thabo Blessing Dube posing under a false identity, allegedly pretending to be associated with "Elite Driving School."

Mai Jeremaya Shocking Confession

In the course of their online interaction, she shared details about her personal life, specifically mentioning problems she was experiencing in her marriage, stating she was simply venting.

However, she went on to make the striking confession about her openness to a potential romantic relationship with the person she was communicating with.

"In my head I was praying and doing these affirmations, ndichingoti eish dai zvaita, you know I have big plans," she is quoted as saying, adding directly, "And to be honest, ndanga ndiripapoint yekuti, of course, I’ve overshared and l have put myself out there and if in any case this Sam wants to date me. l think l am going going to."

This statement indicates that, prior to the alleged incident, she was receptive to the idea of entering into a relationship with the individual she knew as "Sam" (later identified as Thabo Dube), viewing it as a potential path forward amidst her personal challenges.

Comments like "My marriage and prepared to date Thabo, it can’t be in one sentence" and questions such as "Was there any need to confess such nonsense?" illustrate the public's stunned response to her candid revelations on the podcast.

The confession adds another complex layer to a case that has already generated significant public interest and debate surrounding consent, relationships, and the justice system in Zimbabwe.
