Trevor Dongo Arrested, Released Over Harare Apartment Fire
Popular musician Trevor Dongo was arrested and charged with malicious damage to property in connection with a fire that destroyed his rented apartment in Harare’s Central Business District last week. The incident occurred on Wednesday, March 26, 2025.
Dongo visited Harare Central Police Station with his lawyer, Dumisani Mthombeni, where he signed a “warned and cautioned” statement before being released.
The musician has denied any involvement in the fire, stating that he was not present when the blaze broke out as reported by CrimeWatch.
The fire, which reportedly started after a violent altercation between two women in Dongo’s life, has left the musician grappling with emotional pain and loss.
Dongo has spoken out about the incident on Facebook, expressing frustration over “fabricated stories” circulating online and thanking supporters for their help during this difficult time.
Investigations into the incident are ongoing, and authorities have yet to confirm when Dongo will appear in court.
