The arrest in South Africa of the youngest son of Zimbabwe's former President, Robert Mugabe, has brought renewed attention to the former first family and their controversies over the years.
Bellarmine Mugabe, who is due in court on Wednesday for a bail hearing, is accused of attempted murder, among other charges, after a 23-year-old man was shot and injured at a property in an upmarket suburb of Johannesburg.
He has not commented on the charges.
His father led Zimbabwe for 37 years before being forced out of power at the age of 93 in 2017. He died two years later.
The long-serving president and his second wife Grace had three children together:
Grace also had a son from an earlier marriage:
Managing editor of Zimbabwean privately owned NewsHawks website, Dumisani Muleya, told the BBC that the Mugabe family had "lived a life of privilege" and that the children "grew up in that environment where they were protected from the broader realities of the Zimbabwean political and socio-economic situation".
The family had amassed a vast personal fortune, including $10m (£7.5m) in cash, four houses, 10 cars, a farm and an orchard among other assets.
These details emerged three months after Robert Mugabe's death in a legal letter submitted to the high court in Zimbabwe by his daughter Bona. At the time, a lawyer for the family, Terrence Hussein, told the BBC that none of the properties were under the former leader's name.
In 2013, Grace denied that her husband was accumulating wealth while in office saying her husband did not earn as much as people thought as he was a civil servant.
"The allowance I get is just a pittance. I'm a business-minded person [and] I support my husband [by] running our private businesses," she said.
Here is a run-down of what has happened to the family members:
Like his siblings, he grew up in the public eye and was subjected to scrutiny from a young age.
But as a teenager it was Bellarmine's approach to studying that appeared to have been a concern for his parents.
In a wide-ranging interview in 2013 on South African television, they described his playfulness and lack of focus on academics.
Grace said she wanted him to "change his ways" and "concentrate on his studies".
"He should be more serious than he is at the moment," his father added.
Bellarmine sheepishly admitted to spending more time on video games than his schoolwork.
Bellarmine and his older brother Robert Jr have made headlines over the years for their flashy lifestyles in the face of rising poverty in Zimbabwe.
In 2017, a few weeks before the coup in which his father was ousted, he had posted a picture of a $60,000 watch he was wearing on Instagram.
A few months earlier, the brothers were reportedly kicked out a luxury apartment block in the affluent Johannesburg suburb of Sandton after complaints about the noise they were making.
There have been also several brushes with the law more recently.
In 2024 he was arrested for allegedly assaulting a police officer in the Zimbabwean border town of Beitbridge.
He was given bail but a warrant for his arrest was then issued after he failed to appear in court, Zimbabwe's state-run Herald newspaper reported at the time.
A year later in June, he was again arrested for assaulting a security guard at a mining site in Mazowe, an hour's drive north of the capital, Harare.
He was bailed and the case has not yet concluded.
The current case in South Africa against Bellarmine has faced several delays since his arrest in mid-February and his bail application hearing has already been postponed twice.
Also no stranger to run-ins with the police, Robert Jr was arrested in 2023 over allegations he damaged property at a party in Harare.
He faced three counts of malicious damage to property and two charges of assault on a police officer, his lawyer said at the time. He was accused of smashing car windscreens and spitting on a police officer.
He maintained his innocence and was later freed after agreeing to an out-of-court settlement with the complainant, who was a friend of his.
In 2025, after pleading guilty, Robert Jr was convicted and fined in Zimbabwe for possession of cannabis.
Officers said they recovered 2g of cannabis, with a street value of $30, but his lawyer said the amount was 0.02g.
The former first lady, now 60, gained a reputation, and criticism, over the years for her alleged appetite for shopping and extravagance, earning her the moniker "Gucci Grace".
She denied the disparaging accusations and in the 2013 interview said detractors believed she was a "soft target".
"I'm not really what they say I am and I'm actually surprised by some of the things they say... I work so hard and I don't have time to pamper myself. I make my own clothes and tie my own scarf," she said.
In the latter part of her husband's presidency she began positioning herself as a potential successor.
She headed up the women's league of Zimbabwe's ruling Zanu-PF party and was instrumental in the ousting of several alternative potential candidates.
Her plans fell apart when Mugabe was deposed after he sacked then Vice-President Emmerson Mnangagwa in November 2017.
Her business empire subsequently fell apart - and her multimillion-dollar dairy firm, Gushungo Dairy Estates, closed in 2022 reportedly mired in huge debts.
Some argued that it only stayed afloat because of official patronage, which fell away after Mugabe's ousting.
