The late Former President Robert Mugabe’s son, Robert Tinotenda who was in custody after he was found in possession of dagga worth US$30 has been granted US$300 bail by a Harare magistrate Lisa Mutendereki.
Part of his bail conditions include reporting once every friday at CID Drugs and Narcotics and to reside at a given address until the matter is finalised.
Mugabe will be back in court on October 22, 2025.
It is the State’s case that on 1 October 2025 and at around 0830 hours police officers from ZRP Avondale were deployed on a traffic blitz along 2nd Street Extension, Harare when they allegedly stopped Mugabe who was driving a silver Honda fit after he drove against one-way enroute to town.
A search of his black sling bag, which he was wearing on his chest, reportedly led to the discovery of two sachets of dagga, a pack of Rizla rolling papers and a white dagga crusher. Mugabe was subsequently arrested.
Mugabe was issued with an Exhibit Seizure Confirmation Receipt Serial which he reportedly refused to sign.
