Zimbabwe's Former foreign affairs minister Walter Mzembi spent the weekend in jail after his arrest on Friday .The former Masvingo South MP, who lost his ministerial job after a military coup that ousted the late Robert Mugabe, is believed to have returned to Zimbabwe on Tuesday last week from Zambia, where he was self-exiled. He is expected to appear in court  today in an attempt to explain his absence which stalled his criminal abuse of office trial in 2018. His lawyer Killian Mandike submitted medical documents which he said will prove that Mzembi did not wilfully default, but was in fact undergoing treatment in South Africa. Innocent Semosa spoke to political analyst Rejoice Ngwenya.
