Tafadzwa Chidawa faces legal problems again after he reportedly ran a disciplinary camp without proper permits. His business, Matrix Disciplinary Training Camp, became popular across social media platforms. The 36-year-old former cop who works as a socialite and private detective went to court with Clara Manyepera, 38. They both stand accused of pretending to be child protection officers when they lacked qualifications.
The pair showed up at Harare Magistrates Court for their first hearing as officials continue investigating their case. The judge set bail at $300 US dollars for each person. They must return to court on April 20 for another scheduled appearance. According to prosecutors, these two created and managed their facility without registering or obtaining licenses required under the Private Voluntary Organizations Act.
Authorities say this camp is at Number 2165 Tokwane Close and claims to help troubled youth change their behavior. Law enforcement believes they started accepting kids into their program on December 6, 2023. The National Prosecuting Authority states these individuals falsely acted as certified child protection experts. They offered specialized services only legally trained professionals should provide, such as behavior correction methods, counseling sessions, youth supervision techniques, and control measures.
Legal representatives claim both suspects broke the rules established in the Children's Act through their actions. Prosecutors hold video evidence showing both people leading training activities with young participants. The investigation continues as authorities gather more information about what happened at the camp.
