The lawyer for Bellarmine Chatunga Mugabe has spoken to the media following a brief court appearance at the Alexandra Magistrate’s Court.
Mugabe and his co-accused, Tobias Mugabe Matonhodze, appeared in court on charges of attempted murder, defeating the ends of justice, and unlawful possession of a firearm. The charges relate to a shooting incident at a Hyde Park residence last week, where a 23-year-old gardener was critically injured.
According to the defence, they cannot comment in detail on the allegations as police investigations are still ongoing and the full docket has not yet been provided. The lawyer confirmed that additional charges have now been added to the original attempted murder count.
The bail application was not heard today. Authorities are still completing verification processes with the Department of Home Affairs and other agencies. The defence team also indicated that further consultation with their clients is needed before the next legal steps are taken.
The matter has been postponed to 3 March 2026, when both accused are expected to return to court for a formal bail hearing.
