Zimbabwean Rapper Holy Ten Dares President's Sons in Explosive Public Spat

Zimbabwean hip-hop artist Holy Ten, born Mukudzei Chitsama, has ignited a significant controversy with a series of online rants directed at President Emmerson Mnangagwa's sons, Collins and Sean Mnangagwa. The eccentric musician accused the First Family's sons of deploying Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) and army officers to his home, allegedly to repossess expensive gifts, including a house and cars, which Holy Ten claimed they had previously bestowed upon him.

The artist's heated remarks, shared across platforms like X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, and in an explosive live broadcast from South Africa, saw him directly challenge Major Sean Mnangagwa, a Zimbabwe National Army officer. Holy Ten warned Collins Mnangagwa not to send 'people' after him, stating that such actions would only confirm that his father runs a 'terrorist organisation', Zanu PF. He defiantly declared, "Sean, those soldiers you sent to my house, I'm coming back to that house this time. Make sure you kill me. I'm not afraid of Zanu-PF; I'm not afraid of you all."

During his tirade, Holy Ten made extraordinary claims, asserting that he was bigger than the ruling Zanu PF party and could 'finish all of you off' and 'end Zanu PF today'. He maintained that his initial support for the party was driven by a desire to 'clean the reputation, the image of Zanu PF' and both Mnangagwa and Mugabe. Despite his aggressive stance against the sons, he clarified that he still respected the Commander-in-Chief of the Defence Forces, Emmerson Mnangagwa, but his 'boys disrespected me'. Holy Ten also announced plans to travel to Harare to confront the twins, boldly stating, "I'm not Blessed Geza; I'm not afraid of anyone."

In an astonishing declaration, the 26-year-old artist proclaimed his own political ambition, suggesting he is next in line for the presidency after Emmerson Mnangagwa. "Let me tell you something you didn't know: the next President after ED is me, Mukudzei Chitsama. I'm the one who is coming in," he asserted, dismissing other potential successors.

Holy Ten's career has faced challenges since a public fallout with Zim Dance Hall chanter Winky D, which followed their collaboration 'Ibotso'. This earlier controversy, where Holy Ten disputed the song's critique of the powerful exploiting the downtrodden, was attributed by many to drug and alcohol issues, a struggle he has admitted to dealing with for over two years. The current meltdown also comes amid unconfirmed reports from Zimbabwean socialites alleging an extramarital affair between Holy Ten's wife, Kimberly Richards, and one of Mnangagwa's sons, a situation rumored to be contributing to his public outbursts.

In the past, Holy Ten had openly campaigned for President Mnangagwa, posting images of himself in army regalia and brandishing the Zanu PF clenched fist. Sources close to him claim he received a fully furnished house and numerous cars from the Mnangagwa twins, one of which he allegedly repossessed from his wife to settle a debt. Neither Richards, the Mnangagwa twins, Zanu PF, the government, nor President Mnangagwa himself have commented on the unfolding saga, which has raised significant questions regarding the alleged abuse of CIO and military personnel for personal gain.
