That pastor, Alistar Chibanda, is at it again with another major public apology. This time, he is saying sorry to the Doek & Slay women's brand for a cyberbullying case that actually got him arrested. He posted online that he was wrong for his derogatory rant about women, calling his own actions inexcusable. This is basically his third big walkback in a pretty short time.
He pulled the same move back in 2022, first with a formal letter apologizing to Arthur Manase, who runs the national social security authority, after accusing him of corruption. Then just weeks later, he did a whole public reversal against Nyaradzo Funeral Services, deleting posts and saying he was misled by bad information. People online started calling that one an Apolo Jersey, a play on the company's name. Each time, he claims his original accusations were factually wrong and defamatory after facing pressure.
The big difference now is the legal trouble. Doek & Slay pushed for criminal charges, which led to his arrest, unlike the earlier corporate disputes. This whole cycle of launching aggressive online campaigns only to fully retract them has pretty much torched his credibility. Observers are left wondering if he is just reckless with his facts or if he folds immediately when confronted. His reputation is now stuck in this loop of allegation and humiliating retreat.
