Lady Zamar is back in the headlines, not for her music but for what many believe could be a long-awaited moment of reflection. In a two-minute video clip that’s been making the rounds on Twitter, the singer speaks candidly about making mistakes, accountability, and the danger of pretending to be perfect.
Her comments come years after she accused fellow artist Sjava of rape in 2019 a case the NPA declined to prosecute due to lack of evidence. Sjava denied the claims and never faced criminal charges, but the scandal left both artists under intense public scrutiny and divided fans across South Africa.
In the clip, Lady Zamar says people often make mistakes out of ignorance and that it’s important to take responsibility when you hurt someone. She warns that refusing to own up to your wrongs only makes things worse.
She doesn’t mention Sjava. She doesn’t speak about the rape allegations. But her tone is softer, introspective and to many, this felt like a shift.
Others view the clip as a calculated PR move aimed at regaining public sympathy or reviving her career in the industry. Still, Lady Zamar has never retracted her original allegation, and this video doesn’t act as a direct apology or admission related to that case. It reads more like a general reflection focused on personal growth, not public confession. Whether it's genuine vulnerability or a strategic attempt to reset the narrative remains unclear.
In the two minute monologue, she says:
“Look, let me put it this way. I’m going to try to say it as honestly as I can: people make mistakes. Sometimes it’s out of ignorance you just don’t know any better. But that doesn’t erase the fact that your mistake might have hurt someone… You actually become worse more evil when you don’t take accountability for the harm you’ve done.”
Sjava, on the other hand, has largely chosen silence. After the case was dropped, he returned to making music and building his career rarely, if ever, addressing the controversy in public.
