Bellarmine Mugabe escapes drug charges in Zim Court

The son of late Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe, Bellarmine Mugabe,had another close brush with the law in his home country.

Mugabe and a companion, Max Mugaba, were arrested and charged with drug possession.

They appeared before the Harare Magistrates Court on Friday.

According to the Public Broadcaster, the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation, the pair were found with 72 grams of dagga during a routine search of their car.

However, in court, the charges against the 29-year-old Mugabe were withdrawn after his co-accused accepted full responsibility for the alleged offence.

Mugabe was deported from South Africa in April, after paying a hefty fine following a partial guilty plea in an attempted murder and immigration case against him.

The Wynberg Magistrates Court sentenced Mugabe to a R600,000 fine or 24 months' imprisonment and deportation for firearms and immigration charges.

His co-accused, Tobias Matonhodze, was sentenced to three years' imprisonment for attempted murder and defeating the ends of justice by concealing or disposing of a firearm.

The two partially pleaded guilty to the charges against them after they shot at an employee at a home in Hyde Park.
