Rapper Holy Ten, real name Mukudzei Chitsama, set Zimbabwean social media on fire on the night of 7 September 2025 with a blistering series of Instagram posts directly targeting President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s sons, Sean and Collins.
What began as cryptic messages quickly escalated into threats, allegations of military intimidation, and claims that gifts he once received from the ruling elite were being repossessed. By the end of the night, however, the outburst ended in a shocking about-face a public apology to the very men he had vowed to confront.
At 9:08 PM, Holy Ten dropped his first grenade:
“Sean, Collins, should’ve never given me your gifts if you knew you could take them back.”
The post immediately fueled speculation that the rapper was referring to luxury property or assets tied to the Mnangagwa family.
Minutes later, at 9:24 PM, he doubled down:
“It’s not fear. It’s respect. Zanu PF don’t try me.”
By 9:30 PM, the attacks grew more personal. In a post directed at his wife, Kimberly Richards, he ordered:
“Pack all our things. We’re giving them back their house. Zvekunamata vanhu inini no (I will not bow down and pray to people).”
He added another striking claim:
“I been working so HARD to clean up ED’s name and you people think they can just touch me??? I want my respect!!!”
The fury peaked just after 10:25 PM, when Holy Ten posted a video — viewed nearly 20,000 times within the hour — declaring:
“Inini I can end the Zanu PF today.”
He then turned his fire directly on the Mnangagwa brothers.
Against Sean Mnangagwa, a major in the Zimbabwe National Army, he raged:
“Sean, what you did at my house, I’m coming to your house. Make sure you kill me. I’m not afraid of Zanu PF, all of you. Stop what you are doing.”
To Collins, he issued a taunt:
“Collins thinks he is loved by the people, let him start a ‘live’ right now, let’s see how many people join. Do not mess with me.”
And in what many read as a veiled threat, he added:
“I know where Collins lives, don’t worry. We are fixing the country, they shouldn’t mess with me. I’m not Blessed Geza.”
For a musician who just two years ago performed on Zanu PF stages and openly aligned himself with the ruling party, the tirade marked a dramatic rupture. Holy Ten had once cast himself as a loyal cultural soldier, pledging to “help clean the image” of Zanu PF during the 2023 elections.
But by 10:30 PM, the meltdown went silent. His Instagram account @holytenmusic vanished, leaving 200,000+ followers stunned.
Then, at 10:53 PM, came the whiplash twist: a single, humble line.
“Apologies to my brothers Sean & Collins.”
No explanation. No live stream. No follow-up. Just a rapid collapse of defiance into submission.
As of now, neither Sean nor Collins Mnangagwa has commented on the outburst. The silence from the Mnangagwa camp has only fueled speculation about what may have triggered Holy Ten’s spectacular online breakdown.
For Zimbabweans watching in real time, the saga was part reality show, part political drama — a dizzying hour of defiance, bravado, and humiliation that may go down as one of the most extraordinary celebrity meltdowns in recent memory.
