Mugabe's Youngest Son Arrested Over Alleged Assault on Anti-Corruption Investigator
HARARE, Zimbabwe — Bellarmine Chatunga Mugabe, the youngest son of Zimbabwe's late former President Robert Mugabe, has been arrested in connection with an assault case and is due to appear in court on Thursday, November 5.
The 29-year-old was arrested on Tuesday, November 3, at about 6:30 p.m. at Brompton Guest Lodge in Highlands, Harare, alongside four other men: Munashe Mubawu, 43, Terrence Johannes Chinyemba, 42, Fredson Peter, 33, and Solomon Pamire, 34. Investigators from the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) were carrying out an operation to seize two luxury vehicles suspected of being illegally imported into the country — a Lamborghini Urus and a Mercedes-Benz GLE 53, both registered in South Africa and brought in under temporary import permits issued by the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority, which investigators suspected had remained in the country beyond the permitted periods. During the operation, a ZACC investigator was allegedly assaulted, and the commission reported the matter to the police.
Police spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the arrests. ZACC spokesperson Simiso Mlevu said the two vehicles had been seized and investigations were continuing, and the precise role each of the five suspects allegedly played had not yet been established. The allegations have not been determined by a court. In April, Chatunga Mugabe was convicted in South Africa on charges of pointing an object likely to be perceived as a firearm and of contravening the Immigration Act, fined R600,000 in all, and deported.
