Police arrested Doctor Walter Mzembi, who used to serve as Zimbabwe's Foreign Affairs Minister. Officers took him into custody on Friday and brought him before a judge. The court hearing lasted only a short time before officials moved the case to today. Mzembi met with President Emmerson Mnangagwa privately before police arrested him. State media sources confirmed the arrest and court appearance.
The former minister left Zimbabwe after military leaders removed Robert Mugabe from power during 2017. Mzembi has lived outside the country since that time. He returned to Zimbabwe recently for reasons that remain unclear. Government officials have not explained what charges Mzembi faces. The case will continue when he appears at Harare Magistrate's Court today.
