Troubled Zimbabwe Warriors star Kuda Mahachi, facing horrific child abuse allegations, appears to have been nailed by a close friend.
Mahachi is accused of scalding his 4-year-old son Diego with boiling water. These heinous injuries were not treated promptly, resulting in the minor’s right foot being amputated.
New allegations have now surfaced against the suspended SuperSport United winger.
He is alleged to have destroyed his 4-year-old son’s passport before handing him over to a Malaysia who smuggled the boy back into Zimbabwe.
Before scalding the minor with boiling water, Mahachi is alleged to have assaulted him all over his body using a variety of weapons, including an iron bar and mobile phone cable charger.

He is alleged to have repeated this outlandish claim in another phone call to pastor Jabulani Nzimah-Ndlovu of the Ekukhanyeni International Church of Christ.
Mahachi’s friend, Carlos Witness Moyo, is reported to have told the police that he is the one who took custody of Diego after he was smuggled into the country by a Malayitsha.
Moyo resides at Mahachi’s house in Bulawayo’s Cowdray Park suburb.
According to Bulawayo-based lifestyle tabloid B-Metro, Moyo confirmed to the investigating police officers that the minor returned to Zimbabwe on 14 April, bandaged on his legs and head.
Moyo later called the child’s mother, Maritha Ndlovu and Mahachi’s grandmother, Julia Ntuli (82) and told them to come get the child.
When the police interviewed the minor after he was admitted at Mpilo Hospital, he pointed the finger at his father as the abuser.
Diego told the police that:
“. . . on an unknown date whilst still in South Africa, the accused person (Kudakwashe Mahachi) assaulted him using an iron bar, a cellphone charger cable all over the body and poured hot water on his body. The complainant (Mahachi’s son) also stated that the accused person destroyed his passport.”
Mahachi’s lawyer Nkosiyabo Sibanda of Tanaka Law Chambers refused to comment on the latest developments.
