Chatunga Bellarmine Mugabe has been arrested at his Johannesburg home.

The son of the late former Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe is reportedly one of two suspects who had been arrested on Thursday at the Mugabe residence in Hyde Park, Johannesburg.

Speaking to the media outside the premises, Colonel Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi confirmed that the two suspects would be taken into custody and questioned as part of an attempted murder investigation.

Police were flagged down on Thursday morning by private security who relayed that a shooting had taken place on the Mugabe property.

The victim was initially believed to be a security guard, but Nevhuhulwi confirmed that preliminary investigations state he was a 23-year-old gardener.

Early information from the scene suggests an alleged labour dispute between the gardener and one of the suspects led to the violent exchange.

Police state that the number of shots fired had not been confirmed, but a cartridge had been found at the scene.

“We have our dog unit inside, and some of our officers inside searching for the firearm.

“The victim has been taken to hospital. It was indicated that he is in a critical condition, but we are hoping that he will be fine,” said the colonel.

Television news crews showed footage of police officers handcuffing Mugabe and the second suspect shortly before 1pm.

Initial reports stated that Mugabe had barricaded himself in his room, but Nevhuhulwi confirmed he and his companion were cooperating with authorities.

“Bramley station detectives and Forensic Crime Scene Management are processing the scene and two men, aged 28 and 33, have been taken in for questioning,” police stated.

Confirmation that the men had been formally charged with attempted murder was released on Thursday evening, with the men set for a court appearance at the Alexandra Magistrate’s Court on Monday.

Former first lady of Zimbabwe, Grace Mugabe, is in distress following the arrest of her son in Johannesburg on Thursday afternoon. That’s according to sources who made the revelations to SABC News Specialist Correspondent Sophie Mokoena.

Grace Mugabe faces an active, outstanding arrest warrant in South Africa related to the 2017 assault of model Gabriella Engels at a Johannesburg hotel. Although originally granted diplomatic immunity, the South African High Court overturned this decision, allowing potential prosecution for assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

"I spoke to someone who has a strong relationship with the Mugabe family. He indicated to me that the former first lady, Grace Mugabe, is very angry because she has been speaking to her children, telling them to behave. Because if you remember, the other son was arrested in Zimbabwe last year with dagga. And also, the very same son who is now arrested in South Africa, at some point in time, he made court appearances in Zimbabwe.”

Reminds me of that year when Grace Mugabe was "arrested" in South Africa. Next day, Old Bob shows up at the place, walks out with his wife, and flies home with her.

I wonder if he would have tried the same stunt in a shooting case if he was still around.

One can imagine what he did to people when his father was in power. If he had such an effrontery in another country, what would he do in Zimbabwe?

I did a quick search about the whereabouts of Mother Grace (Gucci Grace) and it seems she lives in a 25 bedroom mansion in Zimbabwe called Blue House and can't return home to her native S.A. because of an still pending assault case on a model concerning her two sons. History repeats itself.

Africans always mistaking money for power or abusing power'. You steal so much money and resource of your country and state believing that you are God over everybody.

Have you ever seen Obama, Bush or Clinton children involve in any act crime before and after power? is only Africans and Arab leader children.

You haven't heard the whole story. What if he was in danger for his life. No civilian just pulls out a gun in South Africa and shoots without cause.

Maybe the guard called him a Kwerekwere!

What kind of kindergarten grammar is "For Shooting of A Gardener"? Why not simply say, "For Shooting A Gardener"?
