Ex-minister Mzembi remanded in custody pending trial

FORMER Cabinet minister Walter Mzembi will remain in custody pending trial after Harare magistrate Donald Ndirowei ruled that the State has proven that his application seeking cancellation of warrants of arrest was invalid.

Ndirowei yesterday ruled that Mzembi wilfully defaulted and his bail should be revoked, adding that there was no explanation for his decision to default.

He said there was a gap as to what transpired in his medical report since the attachment should have worked if he had availed himself in 2019 not 2025.
