The Star
|July 03, 2025
FORMER Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe's youngest son, Bellarmine Chatunga Mugabe, has been released on bail after he was arrested on multiple charges including assault.
The 28-year-old Chatunga is charged alongside his bodyguards identified as Peter Fredson and Tinashe Mupawo.
The arrest follows a violent attack that occurred at a mining site in Mazowe - Ultimate Mining concession, leaving a security guard critically injured, with broken limbs.
The Ultimate Mining concession borders a farm owned by Chatunga's mother, Grace Mugabe.
The brutal attack happened last week, when the furious Chatunga led a group of heavily armed men, some brandishing AK-47 rifles. The group, led by Chatunga, charged into the mining area and confronted the security guards, accusing them of allowing illegal miners to operate on his mother’s property.
After a severe attack, several employees of the mining concession were nursing wounds after being brutally assaulted. There are also reports of some gunshots being heard during the chaos.
