HARARE provincial magistrate Mrs Lisa Mutendereki has granted Robert Mugabe Jnr US$300 bail after the State conceded there were no compelling reasons to deny him freedom.
Mugabe is facing charges of unlawful possession of dangerous drugs.
As part of his bail conditions, he was ordered to report to the police every Friday, reside at his given address and not interfere with State witnesses.
In his bail application, Mugabe’s lawyer Mr Ashiel Mugiya argued that his client was not a flight risk, making him a suitable candidate for bail.
The court heard that on October 1, 2025, at around 8.30am, police officers conducting a traffic blitz along Second Street Extension in Harare stopped Mugabe, who was driving a silver Honda Fit (registration number AGY 5850) after he allegedly drove against
one-way traffic.
A search of his sling bag led to the recovery of two sachets of dagga, a pack of rolling paper and a white dagga crusher.
He was immediately arrested.
Prosecutors said the dagga, weighing 72 Grammys, was valued at US$30.
