South Africa-based Ugandan businesswoman Zari Hassan has quashed speculations that she has broken up with her lover Shakib.

The rumours of the two parting ways came about when Zari shared a quote about how lies affect relationships.

"Some people do not understand how poisonous lies are. Lies infect and curse happy relationships to the point where you actually feel sick to your stomach for trusting them again," Zari wrote.

The business lady added that once lies surface, the party who was lied to is permanently unsettled as they can no longer be sure of what they are being told.
