Zimbabwean religious leader Walter Magaya was charged with four new counts of rape on Monday.
The founder of Prophetic Healing and Deliverance Ministries appeared in a Harare magistrate court. This followed his dramatic arrest earlier the same day. Police took him into custody just as he was leaving the court premises.
Magaya had been in court for a separate case. The new charges are unrelated to his previous court appearance. The details of the new allegations have not been made public.
The arrest of such a high-profile figure has shocked the nation. Magaya leads one of Zimbabwe's largest Pentecostal churches.
