Elikem, Pokello slam Herald journalist

Big Brother lovebirds, Elikem Komordzie and Pokello Nare have come out fighting and slammed Herald journalist Tafadzwa Zimoyo for what they claim was an incorrect report alleging the Ghanaian had said women from his country were more beautiful and more mannered compared to Zimbabwean ones. 

The Herald interviewed Elikem and quoted him saying “Ghanaian women are more beautiful compared to Zimbabwean women because they know how to take good care of themselves fashion wise; they have manners and are well cultured, I can say they are ahead and better off than Zimbo ladies except for my Pokello who has lived up to my billing,” the paper reported Elikem as saying.

The public anger directed at Elikem appears to have got to the couple who took to social networking platform twitter to refute the comments. Elikem who is currently in Zimbabwe twitted:

“In the beginning I complained [about] media. And [at] the end. @HeraldZimbabwe is no different. They [came] like they are friends”.

“@HeraldZimbabwe. Y would you quote me wrongly and write what I didnt say. Things u shud hav put. Isn’t it ironic how I complained about the media in the beginning of this news paper. And yet they go on and do yawa. My wife is Zimbo. So nw y wud I?” the Ghanaian designer added.

Elikem’s fiancé Pokello also jumped in to support her man also stating on Twitter that: “Media likes to twist things. The journalist asked Elikem about [Ghanaian] women and he said they were well cultured.”

“Why Herald reporter TafadZwa Zimoyo is now trying to make a simple interview a topic of controversy beats me,” Pokello wondered and quizzed, “Can this journalist please produce the recording of this interview!”
