In a shocking turn of events, former Foreign Affairs Minister Walter Mzembi has been arrested by the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC). Mzembi, who had been living in self-imposed exile in Zambia, seemingly decided to trade in his Zambian sunsets for a Harare courtroom appearance.
The charges against him remain under wraps, but rumor has it that his alleged “TV heist” might have something to do with it. Apparently, Mzembi is accused of converting US$2 million worth of televisions meant for fan parks during the 2010 FIFA World Cup into personal entertainment. Talk about a “screen” for corruption!
Mzembi’s unexpected return to Harare and meeting with President Emmerson Mnangagwa at State House might have been a strategic move, or perhaps just a courtesy call before his court appearance. Either way, the drama unfolds today at the Harare Magistrates Court. Will Mzembi’s diplomatic skills help him navigate this challenging situation?
