Background

Born, 20 October 1990, to her now later father, Evans Ngarande, and mother Evelyn Chiwandamira in Rusape, Jackie was raised by her mother after her father passed away while she was still 9. She did her primary education at Greengrove Primary School, and Tafara 1 Primary School. She proceeded to Tafara 1 high and then Rota High School in Murewa for secondary. Her mother also later passed away in 2007 when she was 17.

Career

Her modelling career began around 2012 when she was crowned Miss Global First Princess.[1] She said she owed her success to modelling guru Mercy Mushaninga who groomed her.[2]

Jackie gets paid for promoting brands and events on her Instagram. She is a philanthropist and this year she hosted the Jackie Ngarande Tea to feed the homeless. She is the goodwill ambassador for Simuka Africa.[3]

Relationship With Mthuli Ncube Reports

In March 2020, Ngarande is alleged to have bragged on Instagram that she was dating Mthuli Ncube.

Ncube accused Ngarande of opening a fake Instagram account in which she posted that he had built her a house and bought her a top of the range vehicle in return for bedding her.

Ncube denied that he was having an adulterous affair with Ngarande or any relationship of any kind with her. He further demanded a public apology from Jackie Ngarande. There were reports that he wanted to sue Ngarande.[4]

On April 6, 2020, Ngarande denied that she was having an affair with Ncube. She threatened to sue any against the publications that claimed that she was having a relationship with Ncube.

The statement released by Ngarande read:

06 April 2020

Ref: Jacqueline Tinovimbika Ngarande Press Statement For Immediate release.

This press statement is with reference to news stories that widely circulated on social media and online publications concerning an alleged relationship/affair between myself and a certain minister of the Government of Zimbabwe.

These allegations are malicious, unfounded and an attempt to damage my image and reputation and also to tarnish the image and reputation of all those mentioned in the stories including my long time friend Miss P Nare. I do not have have a relationship with the said minister either personally or professionally, and like any other citizen of Zimbabwe, I have only read about him in the newspapers due to the nature of his work.

I would like to urge the purveyors of these falsehoods to desist from such hideous acts as they negatively impact on families. They strain relationships and in the process destroy careers. I have since sought legal advice from my lawyers concerning this unfortunate incident with a view to stop the circulation of such hurtful lies and to bring the perpetrators of fake news to book.

Yours Sincerely

Jacqueline Tinovimbika Ngarande
