Zimbabwean Rapper Holy Ten's Explosive Dare to President's Sons Rocks Social Media

Zimbabwean hip-hop artist Holy Ten, born Mukudzei Chitsama, has ignited a social media storm with explosive accusations and threats directed at President Emmerson Mnangagwa's sons, Collins and Sean. The eccentric musician took to various online platforms, including Instagram Live, Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter), to air his grievances, claiming that the First Family's sons had dispatched Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) and army officers to his home, reportedly to repossess property.

During his rants, Holy Ten issued a stark warning to Collins Mnangagwa, whose brother Sean is identified as an Army Major. He explicitly told Collins not to contemplate sending "people" after him, stating that such actions would merely confirm that his father's ruling Zanu PF party operates as a "terrorist organisation." He further challenged Sean directly on Instagram Live, declaring, "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." He also threatened, "I know where Collins stays. My friend, we are now fixing the country. Don't disrespect me," and announced plans to travel to Harare for a confrontation.

The artist also made extraordinary claims regarding past interactions, suggesting that the Mnangagwa twins had showered him with expensive gifts, including a fully furnished house and numerous cars, which he now encouraged them to reclaim. He revealed that one such car, initially gifted to his wife Kimberly Richards, was later repossessed by him to settle a debt. Unconfirmed reports from Zimbabwean socialites suggest a potential extramarital affair between Richards and one of Mnangagwa's sons, an alleged factor contributing to Holy Ten's public "meltdowns."

In a bold declaration that many interpreted as a moment of drunken bravado, Holy Ten asserted his stature, proclaiming to be "bigger than the ruling Zanu PF party" and capable of dismantling the entire institution. He stated, "I joined Zanu PF because I was trying to clean the reputation, the image of Zanu PF. What you did, boys, I can finish all of you off. I can end the Zanu PF today. I'm bigger than the Zanu PF." Despite his fierce rhetoric against the sons, he maintained respect for President Emmerson Mnangagwa as the Commander-in-Chief of the Defence Forces, framing his conflict as purely with the president's offspring who had, in his view, disrespected him.

Furthermore, Holy Ten unveiled audacious political aspirations, claiming, "Let me tell you something you didn't know: the next President after ED (Emmerson Mnangagwa) is me, Mukudzei Chitsama. I'm the one who is coming in." This statement positioned him as a potential successor, superseding other prominent figures like Constantino Chiwenga, Tino Machakaire, and Kudakwashe Tagwirei.

Holy Ten's career, once rapidly ascending in Zimbabwe's music scene, reportedly suffered a significant downturn following a public tirade against popular Zim Dance Hall artist Winky D. This incident, which occurred after their collaboration on the song "Ibotso"—a track highlighting the exploitation of the downtrodden by the powerful—was attributed to issues with unidentified drugs and alcohol, a challenge Holy Ten has admitted to grappling with for over two years. His recent online outbursts came just a day after he had publicly apologised for a previous tirade. In the past, Holy Ten has openly campaigned for President Mnangagwa, displaying images of himself in army regalia and brandishing the Zanu PF clenched fist. As of now, Kimberly Richards, the Mnangagwa twins, Zanu PF, the government, and President Mnangagwa himself have refrained from commenting on these escalating allegations, which have also raised questions about the potential misuse of CIO and military personnel for personal gain.
