It's April 29th. This is Global News Today, powered by AI Your World. In real time, I'm Cory with the story. A Johannesburg court just ordered the deportation of Bellar Mine, Mugabe, the 28-year-old youngest son of Zimbabwe's late leader Robert. Mugabe. He pleaded guilty to pointing a firearm and staying illegally in South Africa right after getting busted and is shooting at his upscale home. The drama went down on February 19th when cops rushed to his place in Hyde Park. A 23-year-old security guard got shot twice in the back while trying to run from a fight inside. Bellar Mine's co-accused, Tobias Matinjade, copped to attempted murder in other charges, landing a three-year prison sentence. Bellar Mine also has the fork over a $36,000 fine before heading out. Prosecutors said the pointing charge came from a separate beef, but he lumped the cases together for court. This isn't his first running with trouble. Back in Zimbabwe, he got pinched last year for roughing up a cop at the Bate Bridge border

and skipped court, plus another assault charge at a mine, sight that's still hanging. Now with the gun still missing in deportation kicking in right away, Bellar Mine's chapter in South Africa wraps up messy, echoing his dad's long, turbulent legacy.
