The trial of Tafadzwa Mandaza, widely known as DJ Rhibe, is set to begin on January 25, as he faces grave allegations of raping a 14-year-old girl. The 32-year-old Chillspot producer was granted bail by the High Court late last year following his arrest in connection with the disturbing incident.

According to the prosecution, the events leading to the allegations began on October 16, 2024, when the victim failed to return home from school. Concerned for her safety, her father inquired about her whereabouts, only to discover that she had been missing for two consecutive days.

The following day, it is alleged that the minor left her home with DJ Rhibe and several others to visit Mashwede Village. Reports indicate that during their time together, DJ Rhibe provided the girl with an unidentified substance, and they smoked shisha, raising concerns about her vulnerability in the situation.

The prosecution claims that on October 18, around 3 a.m., the girl and DJ Rhibe went to his residence. The next morning, she reportedly regained consciousness to find that DJ Rhibe had allegedly engaged in sexual intercourse with her without her consent.

The girl was eventually located in Highfield on October 19, 2024, after her family had reported her missing to the police. The gravity of the situation escalated when, on October 20, the victim disclosed the incident to her father, prompting immediate action.

As the trial approaches, it is expected to reveal critical details surrounding the alleged incident and assess the evidence presented by both the prosecution and the defense. The case has garnered significant public interest, highlighting ongoing concerns about the safety of minors and the need for justice in cases of sexual violence. The outcome of this trial will not only impact the lives of those involved but also resonate within the community as a whole.
