Zimbabwean hip-hop artist Holy Ten has accused Uebert Angel, the country’s Ambassador-at-Large to Europe and the Americas, of inappropriate behavior and misconduct within his church.

In an explosive interview on DJ Ollah 7’s podcast, Holy Ten detailed troubling allegations, claiming that Angel repeatedly asked him to find young women for his personal pleasure.

Holy Ten further accused gospel musician Mudiwa Hood, a close associate of Angel, of bringing firearms and condoms into the church. The artist’s revelations paint a picture of significant disillusionment with Angel, who he once admired.

“I was first inspired to pray by Uebert Angel. I used to watch his sermons. But for him to turn into someone who asks me to find ‘slay queens’ was the worst thing ever,” Holy Ten shared during the podcast. The rapper revealed his shock and disappointment, stating that what was once an inspiration had now turned into a source of distress.

Holy Ten also recalled a disturbing incident during a visit to Angel’s church, where he alleges that Mudiwa Hood showed him a gun and then revealed a stash of condoms from his bag. “I swear I will never go back to that church again. You can even ask my crew. Those people are not who they claim to be,” he declared, expressing his deep frustration and disillusionment with the church’s leaders.

These allegations come two years after Uebert Angel was implicated in the Al Jazeera Gold Mafia documentary, which exposed illegal gold smuggling and money laundering schemes operating in Southern Africa. In the documentary, Angel was secretly recorded bragging about his ability to launder over US$1 billion, exploiting his diplomatic immunity.

Neither Uebert Angel nor Mudiwa Hood has publicly responded to Holy Ten’s accusations, leaving the allegations to circulate without comment from the accused. Nonetheless, the artist’s claims have sparked a significant public debate, with many calling for further investigations into Angel’s activities, both within his church and in relation to the allegations of financial misconduct.
