Former Cabinet Minister Dr. Walter Mzembi, who is currently in custody at Harare Remand Prison, has been admitted to the prison hospital after reportedly falling ill.

Prison authorities confirmed that Mzembi is receiving medical attention, though details regarding the nature or severity of his condition have not yet been disclosed.

Mzembi, a former Minister of Foreign Affairs and Tourism under the late President Robert Mugabe, was recently remanded in connection with ongoing legal proceedings. His detention has drawn public and media interest due to his high-profile political background and previous exile.
