ZIM ATTORNEY GENERAL IS CHARGED !

Police in Zimbabwe say they have charged the Attorney General Sobuza Gula-Ndebele with misconduct over a meeting with a wanted fugitive.
Mr Gula-Ndebele was briefly arrested on Tuesday and later released, after being charged with "conduct inconsistent with the duties of a public officer".
It is alleged that the attorney general met James Mushore, in spite of knowing that the banker was wanted by police.
Later on, Mr Mushore was charged with exchange control violations.
In a statement issued to the media, police spokesman Wayne Bvudzijena said: "Mr Gula-Ndebele was aware at the material time that Mr Mushore was on a warrant of apprehension (arrest)".
Police allege that the Former National Merchant Bank deputy managing director and three other NMB senior executives (Francis Zimuto, Otto Chekeche and Julius Makoni) set up an illegal money transfer agency in the UK.
Their agency, LTB Money Transfers, is said to have processed millions of dollars from Zimbabweans living abroad while guaranteeing their relatives payments at illegal parallel market rates.
