News reports in South Africa say the son of former Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, Chatunga Mugabe has been arrested in an alleged shooting incident.
According to eNCA, an employee was shot after an apparent dispute. The employee is said to be in a critical condition.
New reports online now say the drama started around midday after witnesses reported a heated argument between Chatunga and his employee at the multi-million-rand property.
As the situation worsened, Chatunga is alleged to have pulled out a gun and shot the guard several times. The injured guard was rushed to a nearby hospital in critical condition.
After the shooting, Chatunga reportedly locked himself inside a room and refused to come out when the South African Police Service (SAPS) arrived.
Specialist hostage negotiators were called in, and after hours of talks, the son of the former dictator was eventually arrested and taken away in handcuffs.
Reports also say former Zimbabwean First Lady Grace Mugabe has been informed that her son, Bellarmine, allegedly shot one of his employees. However, Grace Mugabe is unable to travel to South Africa to support him because she has an outstanding arrest warrant there, dating back to 2017.
