Zimdancehall musician Ezbornwage Chidamajaya, popularly known as Hulengende, has been freed after the two complainants in fraud and assault allegations against him withdrew their charges.
Hulengende was arrested soon after performing at the Harare edition of Doek and Slay at Glamis Arena on Sunday.
The National Prosecuting Authority withdrew the charges on Tuesday, during vetting.
He was facing two counts of fraud and assault. The fraud charge was withdrawn after the complainant acknowledged receiving the US$3,900 allegedly owed to him.
The assault charge was also withdrawn after the complainant indicated that he no longer wished to proceed with the matter.
Hulengende was arrested after he and his wife Millicent “Malloti” Chimonyo had performed at the event.
Reports said the arrest followed complaints from promoters over alleged failure to honour performance commitments after receiving advance deposits.
