Harare - The planned court appearance of detained Zimbabwean opposition politician Roy Bennett failed to happen Monday because of prosecution delays, his lawyer said.
Bennett, who was due to be sworn in later this week as deputy agriculture minister in the country's new unity government, had been expected to appear in court in the north-eastern city of Mutare to be formally charged with attempted terrorism.
But the prosecutor failed to arrive from Harare, where the investigating police officer had taken the docket, Bennett's lawyer said.
