One of former Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe’s sons has been detained on drug possession charges, with the police saying he is part of a syndicate of illegal substance peddlers.

Robert Mugabe Junior, 33, appeared in court on Thursday following his arrest the previous day in central Harare, after police officers observed him driving on the wrong side of the road.
