Robert Mugabe’s son apprehended for alleged property damage

A son of Zimbabwe’s former President, Robert Mugabe, has been arrested for allegedly damaging property during a social gathering, Africa News reports citing the Zimbabwean police.
Robert Mugabe junior, aged 31, has arrested by police for destroying cars and other property over the weekend, following a complaint from his friend, Sindiso Nkatazo, also 31.

Local media ZimLive posted a video of Mr Mugabe junior walking to Harare Magistrates’ Court wearing a suit and facemask, followed by a throng of people, as others stood on the sidelines taking pictures of him on their phones.
Former President Robert Mugabe died in 2019 at the age of 95, two years after being forced to resign following 37 years in power. Mr Mugabe was replaced by his former right-hand man Emmerson Mnangagwa.
The trial of Mugabe junior is unprecedented. Local reports argue that relations between the incumbent leader and the family of the late leader had been fraught after they accused him of betraying Zimbabwe’s long-time leader.
His widow, Grace, had harbored ambitions of succeeding her husband but was sidelined by supporters of Mnangagwa.
Mugabe Junior reportedly reconciled with Mnangagwa and returned to Ruling Zanu-PF Party.
