Chillspot’s DJ Ribhe poisoned 14-year-old’s drink and raped her at night, court told – Nehanda Radio

Chillspot Records producer Tafadzwa Mandaza, better known as DJ Ribhe, allegedly spiked the 14-year-old girl he is accused of raping with alcohol and sexually assaulted her overnight before regaining consciousness the next day.

According to prosecutor Anesu Chirenje, the victim, a second grade student, did not go home after school on October 18, which alarmed her father. When he contacted the school, he discovered that she had also been absent for the past two days.

Before she was sexually assaulted, the victim had gone to Ribhe’s house with other people, who are not named in state papers.

“On October 17, 2024, at around 10 p.m., the complainant in the company of other people went to the suspect’s place and they went to Mashwede village, where the suspect manipulated the complainant into drinking an unknown substance and shisha smoking,” the court heard.

The victim is said to have regained consciousness the next morning, when she discovered that Ribhe had abused her.

“When the complainant woke up, she realized that the suspect had had sexual intercourse with her and without her consent,” the schedule said.

The following day, at around 9am, the schoolgirl was then located in Highfield, Harare, after a missing report was lodged with ZRP Glen Norah.

The rape allegations came to light on October 20 when the schoolgirl was interviewed by her father after being located.
