Mugabe’s son, co-accused plead guilty to various charges in Hyde Park shooting case

# Former Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe’s son, Bellarmine, and co-accused Tobias Matonhodze have pleaded guilty to various charges at the Alexandra Regional Court in Johannesburg. Represented by defence lawyer Laurence Hodes, Mugabe has pleaded guilty to pointing a firearm and contravening immigration laws, while Matonhodze pleaded guilty to attempted murder, defeating the ends of justice, illegal immigration and possession of ammunition. The case stems from a shooting incident at a Hyde Park residence in February, where an employee was shot and injured. The case was postponed to next Friday.
