Zimdancehall musician Hulengende and his wife, fellow performer Malloti, are arrested shortly after performing at the Harare edition of “Doek and Slay” at Glamis Arena. Multiple reports say the arrest happens soon after the couple takes the stage.
Accounts also describe how police attempt to effect the arrests, with video footage shared on social media showing police pushing and shoving with the musicians’ security or bouncers. The outlets present the incident primarily as an arrest following the live performance, without detailing the specific charges in the available reports.
While the Zimbabwe Independent and New Zimbabwe both focus on the timing of the arrest relative to the show, New Zimbabwe adds detail about the physical interaction visible in circulating videos. Neither outlet, in the provided summaries, attributes blame or quotes officials explaining the arrest.
