Robert Mugabe Junior, son of the late former President Robert Mugabe, was on Friday granted US$300 bail by Harare magistrate Lisa Mutendereki after being arrested in connection with an alleged drug syndicate.
As part of his bail conditions, Mugabe Junior must report every Friday at the Criminal Investigations Department and reside at his stated address until the case is finalised. He is expected back in court on October 22.
Police say Mugabe Junior is linked to a network that also involves Phillip Munetsi Chiyangwa, the son of businessman Phillip Chiyangwa. National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed that investigations are ongoing into the alleged drug ring.
