Bellarmine Chatunga Mugabe, the youngest of the late President Robert Mugabe’s children, was arrested in South Africa on Thursday, charged with attempted murder for allegedly shooting his gardener.

Police were called to an address in Hyde Park, Johannesburg, following reports of a shooting.

They found a 23-year-old man bleeding from a gunshot wound and he was rushed to the hospital, where his condition was described as critical.

Mugabe, 28, and another man, 33, were arrested.

Gauteng police spokesperson Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi said they had recovered a spent cartridge and a dog unit had been called to help them locate the gun used in the shooting.

“The victim is a gardener and apparently he did not come to work for sometime and there was an altercation regarding that. The victim was shot once,” Nevhuhulwi told journalists at the scene.

Mugabe was arrested twice last year in Zimbabwe, once for disorderly conduct at a police roadblock and for assault in the incident after he allegedly led a group of men armed with AK47 rifles to assault illegal gold panners who were encroaching on their farm in Mazowe.

His brother, Robert Jnr, also has a string of arrests in South Africa, including assault, drug possession and malicious property damage.
