Robert Mugabe Jr. Arrested in Harare on Drug Charges

Robert Mugabe Jr., the 33-year-old son of Zimbabwe’s late former president, has been arrested in Harare on allegations of drug possession.

Local news outlet ZimLive reported that police detained him on Wednesday after allegedly finding cannabis and cocaine in his possession.

He has already arrived at the Harare Magistrates Court, where he will face trial on narcotics charges.

This is not his first clash with the law. In 2023, Mugabe Jr. was arrested after a violent altercation at a party.

At the time, prosecutors accused him of smashing car windscreens and spitting on a police officer. Damages were estimated at $12,000.

He denied the charges and sought an out-of-court settlement with the complainant, who was said to be a friend.

Mugabe Legacy and Public Scrutiny

Robert Mugabe Jr. is the second child of the late Mugabe and his widow, Grace. His public troubles have drawn attention in Zimbabwe, where his father ruled for nearly four decades.

The late Robert Mugabe, who died in 2019 at 95, was hailed as a liberation hero but later accused of policies and abuses that crippled Zimbabwe’s economy.

The younger Mugabe’s arrest comes as Zimbabwean authorities intensify a nationwide crackdown on drug use, particularly in urban centres.
