This comes after Sol Phenduka asked on his social media account why it was hard for Bellamine to lay low when he's a millionaire.

"Someone help me understand. Your dad left you hundreds of millions of dollars in ill-gotten 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?" asked Phenduka on his X account on Tuesday, 24 February 2026.

According to MyZimbabweNews, Mugabe's son is facing more charges in South Africa after his recent arrest.

@Homemadeaddict1 responded:

"He was not lying low; he’s always been here. People just didn’t notice him more often because he looks like a nyaopes wit money."

@Gadfly342043 reacted:

"You don’t 'lie low' in plain sight. If the location was no secret, then it wasn’t concealment; it was normal residence. Let’s not mythologise suburbia."

@SHADOWY_SA wrote:

"Many people knew bra Siz. He always posts on IG stories. Rather let me say people who followed him knew. Now he is in deep DFM, he will have to explain why chickens drink water but can’t pee."

@RNMathe said:

"Lying low is not about not being known where you live or stay; it is about keeping yourself away from any sort of controversy or media attention. He failed on that front."
