He suggested that with the money his late father allegedly left him, Bellarmine could have regularised his stay in South Africa. The post was captioned:
“Someone help me understand. Your dad left you hundreds of millions of dollars in ill-got wealth, possibly more. All you have to do is pick a location anywhere in the world to settle and lay low. Enjoy life. He chose South Africa. Best country in the world. Great choice. Hyde Park - Great choice. Lots of criminals live there, and they've been successfully laying low. How difficult is that when you have all the resources in the world?”

Social media users flooded the comments with a mixed bag of reactions. Several netizens explained why Bellarmine Mugabe found himself in his current predicament.

“If you try to understand how a person born with a silver spoon thinks, you’ll find yourself crazy😭😭that money he has is exactly how he thinks.”
@phonecallaways claimed:
“🤣😅😂this one is spiritual warfare. All those atrocities against your people, a generation had to pay.”
@msomi_nomzamo remarked:
“Living in another man’s plan (the father in this case) is not as easy as it may seem. People generally make their own mistakes in the process.”
@sto0018 said:
“Sol, it’s the entitlement for me. Imagine having 'generational struggle' money, but you’re getting deported for basic paperwork? He really thought Hyde Park was an extension of Zvimba. Logically, it makes zero sense.”
@SACricketLover1 argued:
“When the soul and brain are empty, they have to be filled with something. He fills his with attention-seeking. He has to be seen. He cannot lie low, because he has nothing else.”
