Harare – prophetic healing and deliverance ministries leader walter magaya remained in custody despite being granted us$3 000 bail by the high court, amid reports that police planned to re-arrest him immediately upon release over fresh allegations. Justice gibson mandaza approved the bail application after harare regional magistrate marewanazvo gofa had previously denied magaya’s request for release. However, as of yesterday (tuesday), magaya’s bail papers had not been signed, and his legal team is expected to return to court today in an effort to complete the process. Sources within the state security sector indicated that magaya would have been re-arrested immediately upon release, prompting him to remain in custody instead of paying the bail amount.
This extends his stay in remand prison to 12 days since his arrest on november 1. Magaya faces multiple charges of fraud and rape, which could result in a lengthy prison sentence if convicted. He was arrested alongside his wife, tendai magaya, and their company, planet africa, on several counts of fraud. Tendai magaya was earlier granted us$500 bail after the court ruled that the state had not demonstrated she was a flight risk, noting that she had remained in zimbabwe throughout the investigation. In a related case, magaya’s bodyguard, tapiwa felix chikondo, was granted us$300 bail after being charged with obstructing justice and alternatively assaulting or resisting a police officer during magaya’s arrest at his waterfalls prayer mountain.
