Zimbabwe: Mugabe's Fall From Grace
2017-11-17
[All Africa] Foreign affairs minister Walter Mzembi confirmed Wednesday that he was a runaway as cabinet colleagues and G40 allies Jonathan Moyo and Saviour Kasukuwere were reportedly picked up by the military.

Also detained was finance minister Ignatius Chombo amid social media rumours claiming that he was found with US$10m in cash at his Harare home.

Mzembi, who was out of the country as the military takeover unfolded, confirmed that he was now a runaway.

The minister, a Mugabe favourite, was recently promoted to the foreign affairs portfolio after his unsuccessful bid to become secretary general of the United Nations

World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO).

"I just got a surprise solidarity call from UNWTO Secretary-General Taleb Rifai and Hon Charles Banda of Zambia," Mzembi told a global travel publication Wednesday.

He did not disclose his whereabouts, but added; "I am touched by the expression of empathy and sympathy for my well-being and that of my family under these difficult circumstances.

"It really got to the bottom of my heart that a country I carried the cross for most recently in the UNWTO elections could be seeking to create a runaway out of me!

"I trust that wisdom will prevail in the name of diplomacy to amicably end this crisis to the satisfaction of all."
