Chatunga Bellarmine Mugabe has spoken out against claims that he attacked workers at a mining site near Mazowe. The youngest son of Zimbabwe's former President Robert Mugabe posted a message on Facebook Sunday. He stated that nobody frightens him and that he knows his rights. The post came after news reports said he led armed men onto Ultimate Mining property. Media coverage has focused heavily on the alleged incident.
The trouble started last Wednesday when illegal gold miners ran from Grace Mugabe's land onto the nearby mine property. Chatunga and his group accused Ultimate Mining staff of protecting the trespassers. They claimed the mine workers failed to take action against the illegal miners. Reports say the situation turned violent quickly. Multiple witnesses saw what happened next.
Several mine employees suffered beatings during the confrontation. Someone fired a weapon during the fight. A security guard named Elvis Bvumbwe received serious injuries that put his life at risk. Doctors found he had broken bones and severe trauma from blunt force. Three other people needed hospital treatment for their injuries.
Police received a report about the violent incident. Officers have not arrested anyone connected to the case. The mining site sits next to Grace Mugabe's estate at Mazowe. Chatunga's Facebook response shows he remains defiant about the accusations. He used strong language to express that he feels no fear about the situation.
