Presidential spokesperson George Charamba denied reports about Walter Mzembi meeting President Emmerson Mnangagwa at State House. The former minister fled Zimbabwe during 2018 when corruption charges threatened his freedom. Rumors claimed Mzembi returned secretly on June 11, 2025 for talks with the current leader. Social media users debated whether the exiled politician tried to make peace with Zanu-PF party officials. Critics questioned why Mnangagwa would meet someone facing serious legal problems.

Mzembi served as tourism minister under Robert Mugabe before leaving the country for cancer treatment. He claimed political persecution after the 2017 military coup removed Mugabe from power permanently. The former official later moved to Zambia and remained there since his departure from Zimbabwe. Online speculation grew about his possible return and reconciliation efforts with government leaders. Legal cases against him remain unresolved since he left the country years ago.

Charamba posted on X platform June 13, 2025 to address the growing controversy about the alleged meeting. He called the attacks against Mzembi unfair and said the encounter never happened at all. Citizens continued discussing the situation despite the official denial from government sources. Some people defended Mzembi's right to return home for any reason he chooses. Others criticized the idea of meeting someone with pending criminal charges against them.
