Prophetic Healing and Deliverance (PHD) Ministries founder, Prophet Walter Magaya and his wife Tendai Magaya have arrived at the Harare Magistrate’s Court for routine remand proceedings.
The couple is currently out on bail, after Magaya paid US$3 000 and Tendai parted with US$500.
The two are facing fraud charges linked to their companies, Planet Africa Private Limited and Yadah Connect Private Limited.
They allegedly defrauded 13 complainants of US$49 240 and R195 000 in a botched land deal.
According to the State, the Magayas misrepresented to congregants that they had residential stands for sale in various parts of the country.
They also allegedly solicited investments in various business ventures, promising a 50 percent return within six months.
Many congregants fell victim to these promises, losing substantial amounts of money in the process.
The National Prosecuting Authority has disclosed that Magaya is now facing 78 counts of fraud.
Additionally, he has been charged with five counts of rape, one of which involves allegedly fathering a child with one of the victims.
