Chatunga Charged With Disorderly Conduct, Returns To Court On 16 September

Chatunga Bellarmine Mugabe, the son of the late former President Robert Mugabe, was arrested on Saturday after a confrontation with police officers at a security checkpoint in Bubi on the Masvingo-Beitbridge road.

Chatunga, 27, was travelling in a South African-registered Range Rover with a friend, heading to Harare for a wedding.

During the incident, he allegedly manhandled a police officer, accusing him of causing unnecessary delays.

Chief Superintendent Melusi Ncube, the Officer Commanding Beitbridge District, confirmed the incident, which occurred around 6 AM.

Mugabe was charged with disorderly conduct and illegal possession of a specified knife

Mugabe, who is being represented by Muchiwande Sithole of F Chauke and Associates, briefly appeared before Beitbridge resident magistrate, Takudzwa Gwazemba who did not ask him to plead to the charges.

He was remanded out of custody to 16 September for a provisional trial date.

Sithole told the court that his client had been assaulted by a police officer and was still experiencing back pain.

District public prosecutor Tinayeishe Matenga told the court that Chatunga arrived at a security roadblock in Bubi in a black Range Rover driven by his South African friend, Irvin Molokoza.

The vehicle was signalled to stop, and Molokoza was asked to produce his passport. However, Chatunga allegedly presented his own passport before Molokoza could comply.

Matenga said Molokoza was instructed to park by the roadside for security checks. He partially parked on the road and was then told to move further away from the main road.

At this point, Chatunga reportedly exited the vehicle and began shouting at the police officer, accusing him of causing delays for the fourth time, indicating he was rushing to a wedding in Harare.

It is alleged that Chatunga then manhandled the police officer. He was subdued by other officers, who, upon arresting him, found a flick knife in his possession

@Chaka Foreign registered vehicles are checked to find out if they have fully complied with formalities at the border. Drivers are to produce TIPs, Reg Books, Passports, Insurance etc. This is done when the vehicle is parked by the roadside so as not to disrupt movement of other vehicles. Its not the passenger who produce documents for the vehicle but the driver. Chatunga's behaviour was uncalled for. He should not think he is popular and recognisable by all. If he had parked and introduced himself I think he would have smuggled a VIP treatment for himself on mutual grounds from the officers. If all the paperwork was in order, of which I hope so since no charge concerning the vehicle was raised, the issue of bribes is out. Bribes are initiated by people who are caught on the wrong side of the law not the Police. Why dont people shun corruption and allow the law take its course than blaming the police alone as if corruption is committed by one person- it involves the corrupted and the corrupter. It is lawful for people to refuse to be corrupt and you can not be arrested for that. Its unfortunate the people like Chaka think kudhiza kunongoitwa pasina mhosva. Vehicle checks are done when the vehicle is stationery as the Police had to physically locate chassis and engine numbers on the body of the vehicle and comparing with documents. Vana Chatunga are not immune to that they are now povho like anyone and he should adapt coz zvemabody guards aaipiwa achiri mwana vechikoro zvakapera time yamudhara vake. If he wants some respect he should reciprocate that respect
