Social media users criticised her spending during Zimbabwe’s economic struggles.
Lawyer Fadzai Mahere pointed out that Tino spent a huge amount on her shopping spree in Johannesburg, while teachers earn just US$270 (R4 400) per month ,meaning she spent the equivalent of 67 teachers’ monthly salaries in just two days.
