In her apology, Zimbabwe Independent editor Faith Zaba admitted that the story lacked verified evidence and contained insinuations that questioned the President’s integrity. “We deeply regret that our article contained insinuations that may have been interpreted as questioning the integrity of His Excellency or suggesting impropriety in the exercise of his constitutional prerogatives,” wrote Zaba.

The Zimbabwe Independent editor, Faith Zaba, has appeared in court facing charges of publishing material that allegedly undermined the authority of President Mnangagwa.
Zaba appeared before Harare magistrate Mr Vakayi Chikwekwe.
The State applied for a postponement of the bail hearing to tomorrow.
Prosecutor Mr Takudzwa Jambawo told the court that the postponement of the bail application has been necessitated by the presentation of documents which contain the medical history of the accused person which they need to take into consideration before entertaining the bail application.
Zaba’s lawyer said he was not happy with the State postponing the bail hearing, considering that his client is unwell.
