Prophetic Healing and Deliverance Ministries founder, Walter Magaya, has been released on US$3,000 bail following a ruling by High Court Judge Justice Gibson Mandaza. Magaya had spent more than a week in custody after being arrested on rape and fraud charges.
Magaya had initially been denied bail at the Magistrates’ Court, where Harare Magistrate Marehwanazvo Gofa remanded him in custody until November 13 and advised him to seek relief at the High Court due to the seriousness of the allegations.
