Prosecutors Confess Failure To Locate Former Tourism Minister Walter Muzembi
The State has, through prosecutors, confessed its failure to locate former Tourism Minister, Walter Mzembi. The former Minister was being sought in connection with several corruption-related charges. Charges include misappropriation of funds meant for the 2013 United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) General Assembly
Mzembi skipped the country’s borders when the court permitted him to seek treatment in South Africa but never returned.
Prosecutor Brian Vito told the Harare Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday that they had failed to locate Mzembi and extradite him back home to stand trial.
Resultantly, the State had separated Mzembi’s trials and those of his alleged accomplices, tourism ministry consultant Aaron Dzingira Mushoriwa and the former permanent secretary Margret Sangarwe.
Vito told senior regional magistrate, Hosea Mujaya that the state was separating the cases as a result of difficulties faced in locating him.
