"A magistrate has ordered that the youngest son of the late Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe is to be deported immediately from South Africa after pleading guilty to two offences earlier this month."
"Mugabe was arrested on February 19 alongside his cousin, Tobias Matonhodze, after an employee at his home in the affluent Johannesburg suburb of Hyde Park was shot in the back."
"Magistrate Renier Boshoff said he did not know whether Matonhodze had taken the rap for his cousin, but that he could only rule on the basis of the available evidence."
"Boshoff said the sentences were more lenient than usual because both men had pleaded guilty and were first-time offenders."
Bellarmine Mugabe, the youngest son of the late Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, was fined $36,000 and ordered to be deported from South Africa. He pleaded guilty to two offenses: brandishing a toy gun and being in the country illegally. Mugabe was arrested alongside his cousin, who faced more serious charges. The magistrate noted the leniency of the sentences due to their guilty pleas and status as first-time offenders. Mugabe's father, Robert Mugabe, was a controversial figure in Zimbabwe's history.
