A son of Zimbabwe’s former President, Robert Mugabe, has been arrested over allegations he damaged property at a party in Harare.
Robert Mugabe junior, 31, is accused of destroying cars and other property over the weekend.
He was arrested following a complaint from his friend, Sindiso Nkatazo, also 31, police said in a tweet.
Mr. Mugabe junior, the second child of the former president with his widow, Grace, has not yet commented.
News site ZimLive posted a video of Mr Mugabe junior walking to Harare Magistrates’ Court wearing a suit and facemask, followed by a throng of people, as others stood on the sidelines taking pictures of him on their phones.
It is extremely unlikely that his son would have been arrested if his father was still president, analysts say.
Mr. Mugabe was replaced by his former right-hand man Emmerson Mnangagwa.
Relations between him and the Mugabe family had been fraught after they accused him of betraying Zimbabwe’s long-time leader.
His widow, Grace, had harbored ambitions of succeeding her husband but was sidelined by supporters of Mr. Mnangagwa.
However, Mr Mugabe junior has since reconciled with President Mnangagwa and last year attended a rally where he was publicly welcomed back into the ruling Zanu-PF party.
