Bellarmine Chatunga Mugabe, the youngest son of Zimbabwe’s late former president Robert Mugabe, has been arrested alongside four other men in connection with an alleged assault in Harare.
The 29-year-old was among five suspects arrested on November 3, 2026, as Zimbabwean authorities investigated an incident reportedly linked to the seizure of two luxury vehicles suspected of being illegally brought into the country.
According to local media reports, the vehicles, a Lamborghini Urus and a Mercedes-Benz, were seized by the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC).
Police identified the other suspects as Munashe Mubawu, 43; Terrence Johannes Chinyemba, 42; Fredson Peter, 33; and Solomon Pamire, 34.
