Bellarmine Chatunga Mugabe, 28, was fined and ordered to leave South Africa after pleading guilty to charges stemming from a shooting incident. He was fined 400,000 rand for pointing a toy gun and 200,000 rand for immigration law violations. His cousin, Tobias Mugabe Matonhodze, pleaded guilty to attempted murder and received a three-year prison sentence. The sentences were influenced by their guilty pleas and the victim's desire to withdraw charges after receiving payments. Robert Mugabe, Bellarmine's father, ruled Zimbabwe for nearly 40 years before being deposed in 2017.
