Robert Mugabe's youngest son has pleaded guilty to firearm-related charges and illegal entry in South Africa.
Bellarmine Chatunga Mugabe, 28, avoided an attempted murder charge.
He and his cousin have been detained since mid-February.
They were charged after a shooting incident involving an employee.
Matonhodze admitted to attempted murder and other charges.
The court accepted their pleas, but the police are still searching for the gun.
Sentencing is set for April 24.
The defense argued for leniency, noting no prior convictions and financial compensation to the victim.
