A leaked “secret recording” allegedly involving Prophet Walter Magaya’s former bodyguard and other close associates has sent shockwaves across Zimbabwe. The audio, which is now circulating widely on social media, lays bare shocking claims of money negotiations, political meetings, and looming legal trouble.
The Go-Between and Extortion Allegations
In the viral clip, Magaya’s former bodyguard is accused of playing a double game — allegedly “extorting Magaya while working with the same girls reporting the rape allegations.”
He is heard saying he “used to stand at the gate, people would pass by me” — claiming innocence while others accuse him of being at the center of the scandal. The revelation has sparked heated debate online, with many questioning who is truly behind the blackmail attempt.
Shocking Payment Demands
The leaked audio also dives into alleged negotiations for Magaya’s release. The figures tossed around are jaw-dropping — $60,000, $70,000, $75,000, and even up to $150,000 reportedly demanded to make the case “disappear.”
Observers say this paints a picture of a high-stakes financial tug-of-war playing out behind the scenes as the Prophet remains entangled in multiple legal challenges.
High-Level Meetings and Political Ties
What’s even more explosive is that the recording mentions meetings “being held at the President’s Office.”
These claims have raised eyebrows across political and religious circles, hinting that the case has reached the highest levels of influence and negotiation in Zimbabwe.
Threat of Immediate Re-Arrest & Mounting Debts
Even if Magaya were to walk free, sources say freedom may be short-lived.
Second Case Loading: Intelligence reports claim that 12 heavily armed CID officers were on standby at the remand prison, ready to re-arrest him immediately after release.
New Allegation: A senior CID officer has reportedly accused Magaya of raping his daughter, adding another layer of legal trouble.
International Debt Trouble: Magaya also faces a civil imprisonment order in Botswana, meaning he risks arrest if he enters the country due to unpaid debts — including a $6,000 civil case and an alleged $5 million owed to Israeli partners tied to a gold mining deal.
