Employee Of Robert Mugabe’s Son Fights For His Life After Hyde Park Shooting
An ordinary workday turned into a nightmare at the Hyde Park home of the son of former Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe, after an employee was shot and left fighting for his life. The incident unfolded on Wednesday morning, sending shockwaves through one of Johannesburg’s most affluent suburbs.
What Happened At The Hyde Park Home
According to early information, the shooting followed a dispute involving the employee and unfolded inside the high-security property. EWN understands that the staff member was critically injured in the altercation.
Paramedics rushed to the scene and have been working urgently to stabilise him. SAPS officers have also cordoned off parts of the property as they begin piecing together what led to the gunfire.
Tension In A Suburb Known For Its Quiet Wealth
Hyde Park is no stranger to high-profile residents or strict security, which is why news of a shooting on such a property has stirred concern among locals.
The Mugabe family has long been a prominent name in Southern Africa’s political landscape, and any incident connected to them tends to draw widespread attention. For many Joburg residents, the event is another reminder of the unpredictable nature of violence in the city, even in its wealthiest neighbourhoods.
Police Still Gathering Information
While the circumstances leading to the dispute remain unclear, police are continuing with their investigation. Officers on scene have confirmed that they will release more details as soon as they are able to do so.
This remains a developing story, with updates expected as authorities confirm what transpired and whether any arrests have been made.
