Outspoken author Jackie Phamotse once again ignited a firestorm of public discourse by casting a shadow of doubt over the recent arrest of Robert Mugabe's son.
Bellarmine Chatunga Mugabe, the youngest son of the late Zimbabwean President, was arrested along with an associate on Thursday, 19 February 2026, in Hyde Park, after allegedly shooting a 23-year-old gardener who is currently in critical condition with gunshot wounds.
Later that day, Phamotse took to social media to label the incident incredibly suspicious, specifically zeroing in on the baffling delay in contacting emergency services to assist the critically wounded victim.
"They called everyone but an ambulance or the police! Why?"

Online speculation revealed that self-proclaimed philanthropist Malcolm X and businessman Serge Cabonge were among the first people to arrive on the scene, raising suspicions about the true nature of the events that transpired before the police were granted entry.
Jackie pointed to the details of the dramatic incident, where it was alleged that after he was shot, the gardener attempted to run out to find help, and instead of calling an ambulance, Mugabe and the unnamed associate "begged him to come back inside."

Furthermore, the author suggested that the presence of private security was the only thing that prevented an even more dire outcome, implying that the situation would have taken a far darker turn had they not intervened.
"If it wasn’t for private security guards responding to the gunshots, he would have died or just vanished."
As the investigation continues, her remarks have since sparked a heated debate, with followers fiercely dissecting the controversy and speculating on whether the Mugabe name was being used to shield a high-profile suspect from the full weight of the law.
