Tafadzwa ‘Ribhe’ Mandaza, a producer for Chillspot Records, is currently in a rap3 trial.
Accusations include dru_gging a minor and @ssault, which Mandaza denies.
The prosecution claims the incident occurred on October 16, 2024, when the victim, a 14-year-old girl, failed to return home from school.
According to their account, the girl was in the company of Mandaza and others, and the girl was given an unknown substance at an entertainment venue, Mashwede Village in Harare.

The girl was found at Mandaza’s residence, and later regained consciousness and was found in Highfield.
The defense argues that Mandaza was working as a DJ at the venue that night.
During a prior bail hearing, the victim’s statements were inconsistent. Initially, she didn’t mention any @ss@ult.
Later, she claimed her drink was spiked. The bail application was granted by Justice Regis Dembure.
The trial is ongoing, with the father of the victim scheduled to testify as reported by B Metro.
