HARARE – Troubled hip-hop star Holy Ten was arrested on Tuesday accused of raping a girl, 14.
The Pressure hitmaker recently completed rehabilitation for drug and alcohol addiction at a facility in Rustenburg, South Africa, funded by President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s son, Collins.
Police spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi said: “The ZRP confirms the arrest of a local musician, 27, on allegations of rape involving a 14-year-old complainant in Hatfield area, Harare, on July 20, 2026. More details will be released in due course.”
Holy Ten, whose real name is Mukudzei Modecay Chitsama, has clashed with several high-profile figures, including preacher Uebert Angel and Collins Mnangagwa.
After collaborating with Winky D on their hit single Ibotso, he later claimed he had been coerced into voicing lyrics seen as critical of the ruling Zanu PF party.
He would later soften that claim, saying he was “not forced as such” to sing the politically charged lyrics, adding: “But Winky D bought me two Stretons and Hawaiian pizza knowing if I get drunk I won’t ask too many questions.”
