FIRST LOOK: Has media been caught with pants down as woman fakes it on Facebook?

It looks as Zimbabwean media has fallen victim to a catfish scandal after a woman reportedly claimed to be a partner at the prestigious Margolis Law Firm in the US.

A quick Google search showed Clarice Natalie Mandaza pretty much only has a Facebook account.

So what we hear you say?

Well for a woman who was profiled by Facebook as having links to US first lady Michelle Obama according to a profile on ZiFM’s Facebook page. you would expect a bigger paper trail. (By the way that Facebook post by ZiFM was picked up by the fringe media) And even looking at her profile on Facebook, the issues she seems to care about are so mundane they beggar belief.

Could this be Natalie Mandaza? This image was seen on Pinterest images to do with big black beautiful women

Then there are the images. This character was brazen. ‘She’ took images of black women from the Internet (one part latina) and used them for ‘her’ profile. One of the images is actually part of a profile for an escort from the Charleston area by the name of Sugar Babiez (see image below)

Her post of the same image claims Mandaza was in Russia in 2015. Google image search also threw up some strange results for her other images that can hardly be linked to one person claiming to be a lawyer for a top firm.

Now there is a possibility that the explanation for this cold be as simple as a George RR Martin plot twist but we’re not buying it at the moment.

Look, in case you’re tempted to call us haters think again. We are quick to celebrate success when we see it but a quick background check isn’t that complex in a connected world.

We’ve pinged the firm concerned and quick searches of bar registries in America have turned nothing up so far.

We will tell you more when we know more.
