Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 22073, member: 2262"] A man named Tonderai Robert Mugabe, born on April 20, 1977, at the Chimoio base in Mozambique during the armed struggle, claims to be the son of former Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe. In 2015, authorities arrested Tonderai after he entered the State House demanding to see his alleged father. Sources indicate that Mugabe intervened, securing Tonderai's release and arranging for him to meet the Mugabe family at their Kutama homestead. According to the narrative, Mugabe believed that Tonderai and his alleged mother, Hilda Maeka, had died when the Chimoio camp was bombed. Maeka passed away on September 29, 1995, and Mugabe posthumously granted her liberation war hero status in 2016. Chief Johhanes Karigamombe Mugabe, the former president's younger brother, confirmed Tonderai's introduction to the family in Kutama. However, he noted that many individuals claim to be Mugabe's children, some seeking familial connections and others pursuing material gain. Kaitano Mutandwa Mugabe, son of Mugabe's younger brother Donato, provided an affidavit acknowledging Tonderai as a family member. Kaitano stated that he witnessed Tonderai's introduction to Mugabe by the late sister Bridget and accepted him as a younger brother. Bridget's daughter Laurencia also confirmed Tonderai as Mugabe's son, explaining that they had lost contact with him and his mother after the war. DNA evidence reportedly proves Tonderai's connection to the Mugabe clan. Tonderai has approached the High Court seeking a share of Mugabe's estate, with his application set to be heard in the coming week. [/QUOTE]
