HARARE-FORMER Cabinet Minister Walter Mzembi will spend another night behind bars after the state rolled over his default inquiry to this Tuesday.
Mzembi will return to court for the ruling of the inquiry, which seeks to determine the circumstances surrounding his failure to attend court proceedings in 2018.
Mzembi appeared in court on allegations of criminal abuse of office and theft of trust property which date to the time when he was a Cabinet Minister.
In his court appearance this Monday, the State ordered Mzembi to submit the reasons why he defaulted court proceedings in 2018.
The former Cabinet Minister was arrested on Friday by members of the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission.
He initially appeared in court on Saturday and was remanded in custody.
The court is expected to give its ruling Tuesday.
