The bail application of the son of the late former Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe, Bellarmine Mugabe and his co-accused, Tobias Matonhodze, has been postponed to Thursday in the Alexandra Magistrates’ court.
This is for the prosecution to provide the defence with outstanding documents.
Mugabe and Matonhodze are charged with attempted murder, defeating the ends of justice and possession of a firearm.
This relates to the shooting of a 23-year-old man who worked as a gardener at the Mugabe residence in Hyde Park, Johannesburg, last month.
Defence advocate Sinenhlanhla Mnguni says they are ready to continue with the bail application.
“All I want to say is that we have been ready since last week. The prosecution has stated on record that they have been having challenges with regard to obtaining certain documents. We are ready from our side to proceed. I think we will take it from there once we have consulted with our clients to bring a proper bail application forward.”
