Chillspot producer Tafadzwa Mandaza affectionately know as DJ Ribhe has been arraigned before the courts on allegations of raping a 14-year-old juvenile
Mandaza, 32, appeared before magistrate Marehwanazvo Gofa at the Harare Magistrates' Courts and was advised to approach the High Court for bail.
The State alleges that on October 16, around 4 p.m., the complainant did not return home from school after her father learned she had not attended school for two consecutive days.
The court was informed that the following day, around 10 p.m., the complainant went to Mandaza's residence with a group of people, and from there, they proceeded to Mashwede Village.
While at Mashwede Village, Mandaza allegedly coerced the complainant into consuming an unknown substance and smoking shisha.
On October 18, around 3 a.m., the complainant and Mandaza went to his residence, where she regained consciousness the following day.
When the complainant woke up, she realised that Mandaza had had sexual intercourse with her without her consent.
The following day, the complainant was then located in Highfield, Harare after a missing person report was lodged at ZRP Glen Norah.
The matter was unearthed on October 20 when the complainant was questioned by her father.
Mandaza will appear in court on November 20, 2024.
