The youngest son of Zimbabwe's late former leader Robert Mugabe, Bellarmine Mugabe, has pleaded guilty to pointing a firearm and being in South Africa illegally. Mugabe entered his guilty pleas to two charges after his arrest in February, following a shooting incident at his home in Johannesburg that left a 23-year-old man injured. The 28-year-old son and his co-accused, Tobias Matonhodze, appeared in court in Alexandra as their lawyers proposed that they would return to Zimbabwe at their own cost if a custodial sentence was not given. Matonhodze, 33, pleaded guilty to a series of charges including attempted murder, illegal immigration, and possession of ammunition. Mugabe, previously charged with attempted murder, simply acknowledged the charges in court and confirmed his understanding before entering his pleas. The firearm pointing charge stemmed from a different, unrelated incident, which Mugabe agreed to have heard alongside the other case, as stated by NPA spokesperson Magaboke Mohlatlole. The situation escalated during a dispute at the residence, culminating in the victim being shot twice in the back while trying to flee. Sentencing procedures have been set for April 24, and since their detainment, the case has encountered multiple delays, with Mugabe's bail hearing postponed twice. This incident marks another legal trouble for Mugabe, who has faced brushes with the law in the past, including assault charges in Zimbabwe.
