by the Zim-bob-we Anti-Corruption Commission. They were granted bail of $400 and $300 respectively by magistrate Elisha Sungano and remanded to January 22

The two were ordered to surrender their passports and to report to the police every Friday.

Charges against Mzembi relate to his time as tourism minister while Undenge is accused of criminal abuse of office.

"We are going to make an application for an exception to the charge because the charges that my client is facing are ridiculous," Mzembi's lawyer, Job Sikhala told journalists outside the court.
