Shashl drops rape charges against Levels… ‘but on certain conditions’

Chilspot Records producer Tafadzwa ‘Levels’ Kadzimwe is now only facing charges of violating the data protection act after his ex-girlfriend Ashley ‘Shashl’ Moyo dropped the rape and physical abuse charges against him.

Levels appeared in court on Tuesday on charges of contravening the Data protection Act, and was freed on ZWL20 000 bail. He was arrested on Monday by Borrowdale Police after Shashl pressed rape charges against him.

The RnB singer and daughter of former Health Minister Obadiah Moyo pressed rape charges against her ex-boyfriend after their sex tape was leaked last month something that has cast doubt on her claims.

Accordingly, rape and physical abuse charges have been referred back to the police upon indications that Shashl intends to withdraw but on certain conditions which are still to be agreed on.

State owned tabloid H-Metro reported that a source had claimed that Levels has been trying in vain to invite Shashl to South Africa to negotiate the possible withdrawal of the charges.

“Sometime in July 2021 date unknown the accused person and the complainant were not yet in a relationship but were working together in music at Chillspot studio in Mbare.
