Social media tried to spawn Chatunga Mugabe back into South Africa, but his lawyer called the sighting recycled content, not a real-world comeback. Sinenhlanhla Mnguni says the circulating store image came from earlier, while Midrand’s Waterfall Corner merely became the rumored shopping location. Chatunga remains outside South Africa under a five-year entry ban.
The late Robert Mugabe’s youngest son, 28, received a US$36,000 penalty with a two-year jail alternative after admitting unlawful presence and pointing a realistic-looking toy firearm. Authorities had earlier detained him with his cousin, Tobias Matonhodze, following a Hyde Park household employee’s gunshot wound to the back.
Prosecutors first pursued attempted murder against both men, though Chatunga’s failed deal eventually split their paths. Matonhodze, 32, accepted attempted murder, immigration, ammunition, and obstruction counts, earning three years behind bars after police never found the firearm. Mnguni kept Chatunga’s location private and said any later return would need lawful clearance.
