HARARE – Robert Tinotenda Mugabe, the son of the late former President Robert Mugabe, has been granted US$300 bail by Harare Magistrate Lisa Mutendereki after being arrested for possession of cannabis with an estimated street value of US$30.
Mugabe, who had been in custody, was released with specific bail conditions. He is required to report once every Friday to the CID Drugs and Narcotics division and must reside at a given address until the matter is finalized. He is scheduled to return to court on October 22, 2025.
According to the State’s case, the arrest occurred on October 1, 2025, after police officers from ZRP Avondale, conducting a traffic blitz along 2nd Street Extension, stopped Mugabe.
Prosecutors told the court that Mugabe was stopped after he was seen driving against one-way, en route to town. A subsequent search of the black sling bag he was wearing led to the discovery of the illicit substances and paraphernalia.
“A search of his black sling bag, which he was wearing on his chest, reportedly led to the discovery of two sachets of dagga, a pack of Rizla rolling papers and a white dagga crusher,” the court heard. “Mugabe was subsequently arrested.”
Following his arrest, Mugabe was issued an Exhibit Seizure Confirmation Receipt, which he reportedly refused to sign.
