Director and producer Maduwa was arrested alongside co-filmwriter Kudakwashe Bwititi after a screening of their fim The Lord of Kush. The film tells the story of a clash of cultures between Islamic and Christian communities in Zimbabwe and the violence that follows. He was granted $200 bail in July 2019, and after multiple delays, he ultimately won his case. On May 24, 2021, the case against Maduwa was dismissed.
