"Mugabe and his older brother Robert Junior became notorious in the 2010s for sharing their lavish lifestyles online. In 2017, the younger Mugabe posted a photograph of his watch on Instagram with the caption: $60,000 on the wrist when your daddy run the whole country ya know!!! Shortly after, a video circulated of him dousing the watch with champagne. A state prosecutor said at the hearing on Monday that the gun allegedly used in the shooting had not yet been found."
"Mugabe and Matonhodze, 33, have also been charged with obstructing justice, illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition, contraventions of the Immigration Act on suspicion of being in South Africa illegally, and theft, said Magaboke Mohlatlole, a national prosecuting authority spokesperson. Regarding the theft charge, Mohlatlole said: After [the alleged victim] got shot, he tried to flee. He went outside of the gate and then he fell. After falling, one of the accused went and took the remote [for the gate] from him."
