Former Foreign Affairs Minister Walter Mzembi will stay behind bars over the weekend. His court case moves to Monday June 16 after delays. He faces charges for missing three arrest warrants. Anti-corruption officials took him into custody earlier today. Harare Magistrate Don Ndirowei heard his case.

Prosecutor Tendai Shonhayi asked for more time to review medical papers. These documents explain why Mzembi failed to appear for previous court dates. Defense lawyers plan to submit additional paperwork to the court. The magistrate agreed to postpone the hearing until Monday. Mzembi cannot leave jail during this waiting period.

Killian Mandike from Chiturumani Law Chambers represents the former minister. The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission made the arrest this morning. Court officials need time to examine all the medical evidence. Mzembi missed multiple court appearances that led to the warrants. The case continues early next week with new documents.
