"The youngest son of former Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe has been arrested after a gardener was shot at his home in South Africa, police and a family lawyer said. Lawyer Ashley Mugiya told The Associated Press news agency that Bellarmine Chatunga Mugabe was one of two men detained and questioned on Thursday. South African police said that both men were later placed under arrest and will face charges of attempted murder."
"The motive of the shooting is unknown at this stage, and police investigations are under way, Colonel Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi said. Police did not name the two men who were arrested, though South African police typically decline to name suspects until they have appeared in court and been formally charged. South African national broadcaster SABC said the shooting occurred at the younger Mugabe's home in a plush Johannesburg suburb."
Bellarmine Chatunga Mugabe, 29, was arrested in Johannesburg after a gardener at his home sustained a single gunshot wound and is in critical condition. Police detained two men, questioned them and later charged both with attempted murder. Motive remains unknown and investigations continue, with authorities noting the suspects were initially uncooperative and refusing to disclose the location of the firearm. South African broadcasters reported the incident occurred at the younger Mugabe's residence in a high-end suburb, and photographs showed him in handcuffs. Lawyers from Zimbabwe and South Africa will represent Mugabe in the case.
