Magaya Denied Bail on New Fresh Charges

PROPHETIC Healing and Deliverance (PHD) Ministries leader Walter Magaya was on Monday denied bail by the Harare Magistrates Court on fresh rape charges before being arrested by police shortly after a separate court appearance on rape and fraud allegations.

Magaya appeared in court in handcuffs following his arrest earlier in the day. The magistrate ordered that he remain in police custody pending trial scheduled for February 16 to 19, 2026.

His lawyer, Admire Rubaya, told the court that the defence would approach the High Court seeking bail.

The latest arrest deepens Magaya’s legal troubles as he faces multiple serious charges before the courts.
