Zari Hassan has been accused of stigmatizing people living with HIV following her eyebrow raising comments on social media about ARVs.
The South Africa based Ugandan socialite took to social media on Monday, to sound off people claiming that the child support she gets from her ex Diamond Platinumz finances her lavish lifestyle. In her post, the mother of five reaffirmed that she is self-made, adding that the message was intended for some people and that those not concerned should not “ropoka kama ARV’s kufichwa mchana, kumezwa usiku,” meaning, “should not act like people who hide ARVs during day time and swallow them during night time.”
This angered her fans who criticized her of stigmatizing HIV victims, with one fan commenting;
“She should have thought of her followers who are victims before making such a statement..it’s not funny at all!”
