Johannesburg – The case involving Bellarmine Mugabe, son of former Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe, and co-accused Tobias Matondze has been postponed again at the Alexandra Magistrate’s Court due to ongoing electricity outages at the court.
The pair, accused of shooting and wounding an employee at Mugabe’s Hyde Park home last month, face several charges including attempted murder, illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition, defeating the ends of justice, theft and immigration-related offences.
This marks the second postponement in a week, frustrating the defence, while the National Prosecuting Authority is expected to oppose bail when the matter returns to court on 11 March 2026.
