The court case involving Bellarmine Chatunga Mugabe, son of the late former Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, has been postponed to 17 April 2026 as plea negotiations continue to drag on.

Mugabe and his co-accused Tobias Tamirepi Matonhodze remain in custody after the State confirmed that discussions are still not finalised, despite earlier expectations that an agreement was close.

The magistrate has now issued a clear warning that no further delays will be tolerated, making the next court date a critical moment in this high-profile case.

Here’s what we cover in this video:

The charges are severe and include attempted murder, after a 23-year-old gardener was allegedly shot in the back at a Hyde Park property in February, along with firearm offences, defeating the ends of justice, and immigration-related violations.

The accused had also abandoned their bail applications, adding another layer of complexity to the case.

This story continues to unfold, with growing public interest across the region.
