A man claiming to be former president Robert Mugabe’s son was once arrested in 2015 after he stormed the State House demanding to see his father, it has been established. Sources said Tonderai Robert Mugabe, who was born on April 20, 1977, at the Chimoio base in Mozambique during the armed struggle, was released after Mugabe’s intervention. The late strongman is said to have believed that Tonderai and his alleged late lover, Hilda Maeka, were killed after the Chimoio camp was bombed. Sources said Mugabe’s younger brother, Chief Johhanes Karigamombe Mugabe, was present when Tonderai was introduced to the family in Kutama. Chief Karigamombe confirmed this when contacted for comment. “I know him from his visits here, but there is nothing done traditionally on welcoming him,” he said. “There are many children who later come saying they are Mugabe’s children but some are doing it so that they know their family line and some are for material things.”
