Gauteng police have confirmed that the son of former Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe and another man will appear in the Alexandra Magistrates Court in Johannesburg on Monday.
This follows their arrest after the alleged shooting of a 23-year-old gardener at Mugabe’s Hyde Park home on Thursday.
Police are continuing their search at the property this morning for the firearm that was allegedly used in the incident, after searching the premises including the pool last night.
