National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed and said investigations were in progress.

“The ZRP is investigating circumstances surrounding the death of a 32-year- old woman whose body was found lying in a maize field in Get Bucks area, Waterfalls with some bruises on the knees and a cut on the nose. A Huawei cell-phone and a plastic bag containing $210 and US$1 cash were found on the scene,” he said.

This comes barely a week after a 31-year-old woman was shot during an armed robbery in Waterfalls. The woman was trying to defend an older woman when the armed robber shot her in the head. Only US$60 and cellphones were stolen. Recently a Murehwa man killed his daughter to avoid paying maintenance worth US$30.

There have been reports that seven people lost over US$17 000 cash, cars and property worth over US$9 000 and R248 000 to armed robbers who ambushed them in separate incidents countrywide.

These incidents include; a house robbery in Chitungwiza which involved 2 men armed with a black pistol and iron bar, a car robbery in Norton, a car robbery on the Masvingo-Beitbridge road, a mushikashika robbery along Chiremba Rd in Harare.

This is a lot of crime in one week considering these are just the cases that made it on the news. A concerning element is the increasing use of guns. When Prophet Magaya’s house was searched, other houses were searched and a man named Ashref Kara was arrested for being in possession of four guns in Avondale West.

The criminal activity in Zimbabwe is really concerning. Could it be the bad economic situation? Surely we would have experienced the same in 2008? There is also a rise in drug abuse and everyone knows where there are drugs there is also terrible criminal activity.

The ZRP (Zimbabwe Republic Police) have revealed why they raided Prophet Walter Magaya’s house. Clarity comes after they raided two more houses in Harare following information on alleged reports of unlicensed guns being kept at the premises.

The police conducted the raids after obtaining warrants of search and seizure. One suspect has since been arrested in Avondale West identified as Ashref Kara. Ashref was found in possession of four guns and several rounds of ammunition. True facts, it’s not a movie!

No arrests or recoveries were recorded on the other two premises in Mt Pleasant belonging to PHD Ministries leader Prophet Magaya, and in Sandton, where they also raided.

So why raid the Prophet’s house? The police were looking for a man called Frank Mudimu, who is believed to have supplied the wrong address to the police. This is according to a search warrant seen by The Herald.

In an interview, national police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the development.

“The Zimbabwe Republic Police confirms that acting on credible information and ongoing investigations on suspicious criminal movements, the police obtained warrants of search and seizure leading to raids at three premises in Harare today.

As a result, one suspect, Ashref Kara of number 66 Argyle Road, Avondale West, Harare, has been arrested for possession of unlicenced firearms and ammunition,” he said.

Ashref Kara is facing charges of contravening the provisions of the Firearms Act, Chapter 10:09.

“The police also conducted raids at number 18 Cuba Road, Mt Pleasant and 261 Phase 1, Sandton, Goodhope in Harare. These raids were not targeting specific individuals or personalities but criminal activities based on information given to the police.

The police takes this opportunity to thank the public for cooperating and continuous supply of information on possible criminal acts in the country,” Assistant Commisioner Nyathi said.

When contacted for comment, PHD Ministries chief spokesperson and senior overseer, Mr Admire Mango, confirmed the developments saying from information he had gathered the police were looking for one Mudimu, and not Prophet Magaya. Mudimu is believed to be in possession of unlicensed firearms

It’s been a long week for Prophet Magaya. From flying to Kenya for a mega crusade to having your house raided by the police. The PHD Ministries leader has been at the centre of controversial stories for years and each story is nothing short of an action-packed movie.

According to the Herald, the prophet’s Mt Pleasant house was raided for alleged criminal investigations. National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the development but couldn’t disclose any more information concerning the investigations.

“This is in relation to ongoing criminal investigations being conducted by the police and we will release details soon,” he said.

Recently Walter Magaya was in Kenya for a mega crusade and he spoke about Aguma (a drug he discovered and claimed could cure HIV) in an interview at JKIA. The drug has gotten the prophet in a lot of trouble in the past as he had to attend court sessions and pay a fine for the claims he made about its healing capabilities. Could there be a relation between the drug and the police raid?

Scores of people flooded the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) to welcome the prophet who was in Kenya to headline a major crusade organized by the Christ Pinnacle Embassy Ministries church.

As he approached the JKIA car park, some of the people threw themselves onto the ground and some broke into tears as they spoke in tongues. People of all ages waved flags and the entourage was complete with a marching band.

In an interview at the airport (video below) Walter Magaya said;

“If God touches you, you will never remain the same. This will mean the change of a lot of lives. So you will see it and the testimonies will be evident. Thank you”

One of the journalists on site took the chance to ask about Aguma, a drug formulated by Prophet Magaya that he claimed could cure HIV. The prophet responded;

“I didn’t say I cure HIV. I said I found a solution that may cure HIV which may need more investigation. But you know how it is with our media. We take it and write it as we wish as it may come out. So uuummm so also in Africa. If an African finds something better, the only thing that we do is we arrest them than to listen to them.”

Prophet Walter Magaya was convicted in 2019 for contravening sections of the Medicines and Allied Substances Control Act through manufacturing and marketing the anti-HIV drug without first clearing with authorities. He had to pay a fine of $700US even though there were lab tests conducted to prove the statement wrong.

Besides issues surrounding the HIV cure, prophet Magaya has been on the receiving end of rape and extramarital affair allegations. There was also an incident with Bernard Chiteme, a young that was healed by the prophet and was later seen at the Mbuya Nehanda statue unveiling hurling insults at Chamisa.

These collective incidents have resulted in a decline of Zimbabwean followers as many people that put him on a spiritual pedestal have since turned their backs on the prophet’s ministry. So the huge welcome in Kenya comes as a shock to many Zimbabweans. And as they say…again…A prophet has no honour in his home town.
