ZRP opens channels for reporting rape against Magaya

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has announced that it is now receiving reports from victims and witnesses across the world concerning allegations of rape, assault and fraud linked to Prophetic Healing and Deliverance (PHD) Ministries leader, Walter Magaya.

In a statement released Friday, the police confirmed that they have received numerous inquiries from both local and international complainants seeking clarity on how to formally report their cases.

To facilitate the process, the ZRP has provided several official contact numbers for victims to directly report the allegations. These include cellphone number 0776 830 226, the National Complaints number (0242) 703631, and a dedicated WhatsApp number, 0712 800 197.

"The Zimbabwe Republic Police has availed these channels for anyone wishing to freely report and allow investigations to proceed without interference," the statement reads.

The police urged victims based both in Zimbabwe and abroad - including those in South Africa, the United Kingdom, Namibia, Botswana, Mozambique, Malawi, and Zambia - to come forward and provide information.

"For those victims in South Africa, please feel free to go to the local police station to report and have your statement notarized and formally submitted to the Zimbabwean Embassy," the police advised.

ZRP further warned individuals or syndicates attempting to interfere with investigations or intimidate witnesses that they risk being arrested for defeating or obstructing the course of justice.

"The Zimbabwe Republic Police will not hesitate to take action against anyone who seeks to derail investigations or threaten complainants and witnesses," the statement added.

The police reaffirmed their commitment to conducting thorough, impartial and professional investigations, assuring victims that their cases will be handled with confidentiality and sensitivity.
