Allegations of dangerous drug possession against Bellarmine Chatunga Mugabe have been withdrawn following his appearance at the Harare Magistrates’ Court on Friday.

Mugabe was cleared after his co-accused, music promoter Max Mugaba, took responsibility for possessing the cannabis.

The 29-year-old Mugabe and Mugaba were arrested after allegedly being found in possession of 72 grammes of marijuana.

Mugaba remains in custody as he awaits a ruling on his bail application later this afternoon
