The musician claims that bodyguard Tapiwa Chikondo sold him an automobile with counterfeit license plates and no proper registration at Yadah Hotel, where Prophet Walter Magaya's ministry is located. After discovering the fraud, Ti Gonzi says the seller disappeared for more than a year despite initially promising to refund the payment and reclaim the vehicle.

A Zimbabwe court has denied bail to Prophet Walter Magaya, ruling it lacks the authority to consider his release on rape charges. The magistrate in Harare on Tuesday ordered the Prophetic Healing and Deliverance Ministries leader to seek relief from the High Court instead. Magaya faces 13 fraud counts and five rape allegations.
Regional magistrate Marewanazvo Gofa explained that her court cannot legally process bail applications for rape cases. She remanded the 41-year-old preacher until Nov. 13. His defense attorneys argued that authorities held him and his wife, Tendai, past the constitutional 48-hour detention limit after their arrest during a Saturday morning raid. Prosecutors countered that alleged constitutional violations do not...

Harare municipal authorities want to increase cemetery charges by as much as 50 percent starting in January, prompting concern among families who say the higher rates exploit people during times of loss.

Religious leader Eubert Angel has publicly defended fellow preacher Walter Magaya against sexual assault charges that have captured national attention in Zimbabwe. Angel stated that discussions about contraceptive protection undermine the legitimacy of the claims and called for restraint until legal proceedings conclude. His remarks drew sharp responses across social media platforms, where public opinion remains split between those supporting Magaya and advocates pressing for accountability.

A Harare court heard fraud allegations on Tuesday against religious leader Walter Magaya, who prosecutors say deceived church members by falsely claiming ownership of property belonging to former central bank chief Gideon Gono.

His wife, Tendai, accompanied him during negotiations with Gono but did not reveal the misrepresentation, according to court documents.
Prosecutors claim the couple collected about $49,000 and 195,000 rand from congregants for residential plots in Chishawasha, Norton and Mutare through their companies Planet Africa and Yadah...
