Socialite Malloti has finally shared her side of the story after a viral video showed her fleeing City Parking officials and damaging a car clamp in the process.
Malloti’s car was clamped for allegedly illegal parking in Harare’s CBD. But instead of paying a fine or negotiating with the officials, she drove off; earning herself a spot on Harare Traffic Enforcement’s wanted list.

“Mukadzi uya kwakutouya zvikanzi, ‘Munenge muchida kuonererwa nekuti muri macelebrity’. Ndikati, ‘Ah, ko imimi munoda kundi clamper nguva inoyi kuma4 ndinobhadhara kupi?’ Zviukanzi, ‘Munoda kuzviita macelebrity munoda kuonererwa.’ Kwakutondiisa clamper paye paye. Inini ndikati kudhara.”
