Social media personality Mmatigari said the late former President Robert Mugabe didn’t properly mentor or discipline his sons, which he says has led to several run-ins with the law.
He made the comments following the arrest of Bellarmine Chatunga Mugabe, Mugabe’s youngest son, in South Africa on Thursday.
The 28-year-old was taken into custody after a 23-year-old man, thought to be a gardener, was shot and injured. Police searching the Hyde Park home where Mugabe was staying found bullet cartridges but no firearm.
Mmatigari added that the Mugabe sons have been involved in several incidents over the past few years.
Robert Mugabe Jr has been arrested multiple times in Zimbabwe for drugs and violent behaviour, while Chatunga is also under investigation for alleged violence against security guards in Mazowe.
During Mugabe’s presidency, the brothers were reportedly removed from Dubai for breaking the law there. He added:
“While Mugabe was fighting sanctions and trying to navigate Zimbabwe through a heavy-handed fight with powerful Western countries, he neglected mentoring and disciplining his male children.
“They really lacked firm guidance at home. How do we know? We know because Chatunga was involved in naughty scrapes throughout high school, such as stealing exam papers and so on, leading to his expulsion from St George’s College.
“Mugabe himself spoke about this sometimes, nicknaming Chatunga the Undertaker for getting “U” grades.
Mugabe was a tough hand, across the board, locally and internationally, except at home. And his sons seem to be competing to embarrass in his death.”
Mmatigari also claimed that the Mugabe boys were not properly disciplined, either at school or at home. He said:
“They weren’t disciplined at home. They also lack self-discipline – that notion, the sixth sense, the intuition that controls you personally and stops you from doing certain things that are wrong as a member of society.
“I am talking about that sense to say even though I may have a gun, I can’t just pull the trigger on someone and not face consequences because life is not a Hollywood movie.
“Because they didn’t get discipline at school and at home, discipline is going to find them in life. It will find them for balance – for equilibrium.
“You see, I have a theory, which I hope one day to refine into a mathematical equation. My theory is that discipline in the universe is a finite quantity.
“Ultimately, everything else is in equilibrium – balance. Where discipline lacks, the equation won’t balance out.
“So at some point, discipline will on its own pursue and find unbalanced matter, people or whatever to bring out an equilibrium.”
Meanwhile, on Thursday night, divers were sent to the Mugabe residence in Johannesburg to search for the firearm believed to have been used in the gardener’s shooting, allegedly by Chatunga.
