Kapfupi's Disturbing Admission
In one of the most bizarre celebrity scandals in recent history, Freddy "Kapfupi" Manjalima publicly confirmed allegations that he consumed his child's faeces during a domestic row. This followed claims made by his estranged wife, Mai Nga, on the Ollah 7 Podcast.
- The Reason: Kapfupi stated, "Yes, I ate the poo. It was a better way of dealing with my anger than stabbing myself to death with a knife." He claimed extreme emotional distress caused by infidelity was the trigger.
- The "Yeukai" Deception: Kapfupi alleged Mai Nga saved her lover’s number as "Yeukai" (a female name) to trick him. He discovered the deception, which allegedly fueled the confrontation.
- Further Allegations: He accused Mai Nga of abandoning him and their children at 1 AM and hinted at exposing "V11s" (evidence) regarding a miscarriage he claims she blamed on her lover.
Horror in Guruve
The Zvitsva family in Guruve (Plot 9) was devastated by a senseless attack on Sunday night. Police have launched a massive manhunt for the suspect, Enemore Zvitsva, who is believed to be suffering from mental health issues.
The Tragic Details:
- Victims: Grace Zvitsva (66), Loice Chiringaushe (37), Takudzwa Kariwa (5), Tatenda Cheranje (2), and Tendai Zvitsva (40). Tendai initially survived the attack but died from chest wounds upon admission to Guruve Hospital.
- Survivors: Five grandchildren sleeping in a separate room were fortunately unharmed.
- Police Action: The ZRP has deployed specialised units including the Canine Unit, Support Unit, and drones to scour the mountainous terrain where the suspect is believed to be hiding.
Culture & Religion: Madzibaba Zakaria
Sungura godfather Nicholas Zakaria was laid to rest, but the nature of his burial confused some fans who knew him as "Madzibaba." Zakaria was buried according to Islamic rites, reflecting his personal faith.
- No Casket: His body was removed from the coffin and wrapped in a white shroud before being placed into the grave.
- The Tunnel Grave: The grave included a special chamber (tunnel) for the body. Wooden planks were used to separate the body from the soil that was backfilled, ensuring no dirt touched the deceased directly.
- Cultural Context: Family and Muslim elders clarified that the practice signifies a dignified return to the earth. Women traditionally visited the grave three days after the burial, similar to local "3rd Day" traditions.
The Industry Speaks
Zimdancehall artist Master H lived up to his rumoured $30,000 performance fee at the "Doek and Slay" event. With attendance estimates ranging from 6,000 to a staggering 25,000 women, the event solidified Master H's status as a top-tier draw in Zimbabwe.
His performance was described as "fire," silencing doubts about whether he was worth the high booking cost compared to legends like Jah Prayzah and Alick Macheso.
Hip Hop veteran Stunner caused a stir at the Zim Hip Hop Awards while accepting his Lifetime Achievement Award. He boldly claimed, "There is no one who can beat me anymore," referencing absentee stars Holy Ten and Voltz JT.
He added fuel to the fire by stating he offered collaboration verses to both Voltz JT and Winky D, alleging that Winky D never reciprocated, a comment that reignited debates about industry unity.
