Blaqs apologises for controversial comments as career ‘ends’

Award winning director Vusa Blaqs has penned an apology note after a storm was torched following his comments about sexual behaviour on set.

The comments via a leaked voice note were in light of award-winning actress Amanda Ranganawa’s statements in an article published in a local daily about sexual abuse in the Zimbabwe film industry.

The talented, controversial Blaqs said on his Facebook:

I’ve lost everything. Lesson learned.
While attempting to be cool on a group I actually dug my own grave. My comments about a sad thing that happened to Amanda have sparked so much outrage that it has actually affected my livelihood. My own actions have put an abrupt end to my career which I worked so hard to established.
All morning I’ve been receiving emails from clients cancelling contracts. Yes it’s that bad. I have myself to blame.
Still I say thank you to my sisters Bren Mupa and Sisa Senkosiand all of you who have spoken out against my disgraceful actions.
Once again I hope other men who are perpetrating this violence will learn from my mistakes. And I hereby add my voice to the campaign against sexual harassment.
Thank you for reprimanding me.
