NPA Explains Decision Not to Prosecute DJ Ollah 7 Over Cyberbullying Charges

NPA Explains Decision Not to Prosecute DJ Ollah 7 Over Cyberbullying Charges

The National Prosecuting Authority of Zimbabwe (NPA) has clarified why it chose not to prosecute podcast host DJ Ollah 7.

The former Star FM presenter was arrested and spent the weekend in jail following a controversial interview with popular rapper Holy Ten.

Initial reports suggested that the State had decided not to pursue cyberbullying charges against DJ Ollah 7 after Mudiwa Hood had withdrawn his case.

NPA Explains Decision Not to Prosecute DJ Ollah 7 Over Cyberbullying Charges
In a statement shared on its official X account, the NPA explained the reasons behind its decision not to proceed with the case. The NPA stated that DJ Ollah 7, whose real name is Owen Madondo, did not record the interview with the intent to bully or harass Mudiwa Hood.

“Prosecution has been declined against Owen Madondo (DJ Ollah 7), accused of cyberbullying Mudiwa Hood. The case arose from statements made by guest Mukudzei Chatsama (Holy Ten) during a podcast, which were alleged to cause distress and humiliation to Hood. The NPAZ determined that Madondo, as the podcast host, lacked intent to harass or bully, as the statements were made by his guest during a live broadcast,” part of the statement reads.

Mudiwa Hood’s Withdrawal Wasn’t the Reason
The NPA also clarified that its decision not to prosecute DJ Ollah 7 was in no way influenced by Mudiwa Hood’s withdrawal of the charges.

“While the complainant expressed a wish not to pursue the matter further, the Prosecutor General has the final authority in deciding whether charges are withdrawn, in accordance with NPAZ Prosecutorial Guidelines. Victims of crime or complainants do not have the power to end criminal court processes—this decision rests with the Prosecutor General,” the statement further reads.

This statement contradicts claims made by DJ Ollah 7’s legal team, who suggested that Mudiwa Hood’s withdrawal of the charges played a key role in the NPA’s decision not to prosecute.
