Former Studio 263 Actress Tino Katsande Beaten Up By Lover This Weekend

In a heart-wrenching pouring out of her heart this morning, popular ZiFM breakfast host Tinopona Katsande poured her heart out about how she was beaten up this weekend.

This is after she had posted this last night:

I am a victim but I will come out the victor! Tintin been done wrong ..BIG TIME. Pls pray with me and stand by me. It’s goin to be rough

Then she added this, this morning

Was beaten up for asking him to help me clean the house by washing the dishes while I did the laundry

Tino, who played Joyce on the popular local soap Studio 263 then posted a picture of herself.

Now, no doubt this has left us sickened. Absolutely shell-shocked and sickened to the core.

How a man could beat up a woman is beyond us. We know that in Zimbabwean culture, men believe that they beat up a woman at some point to assert dominance and often this is swept under rug swept. We stand and we watch as degenerates subject our sisters, mothers and daughters to the most horrific experiences.

Our excuse?

That is our culture. Families of the victims tell their children that this is the way it must be. Sometimes victims are made to feel that they were a major contributor to their misfortune.

Sad to see what has happened to Tino. We think she is brave for bringing her business out like that because many wouldn’t.

The sobering thought is that for every Tino who comes out, there are a probably a thousands who just suffer silently, blaming themselves. The system around them makes them feel powerless and their voices are never heard.

Sadly there are people reading this right now male and female, thinking, it was TinTin’s fault. Sad isn’t it.

Makes you think of that song by Babyface and Stevie Wonder, How Come, How Long.

We just let these things happen.
