The matter relates to a shooting incident at the Mugabe family residence in Hyde Park in February, in which an employee was injured. Prosecutors have charged the pair with attempted murder, defeating the ends of justice, unlawful possession of a firearm and contravening SA’s immigration laws.

The two appeared briefly in court last month, when it emerged that no plea agreement had been finalised between the State and the defence. The court heard that the prosecution was not satisfied with the proposals tabled by the defence, and the case was postponed.
