HARARE: Former Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe on Wednesday failed to turn up for a parliamentary hearing where he was due to give evidence on corruption in the diamond mining industry. The 94-year-old, who is in frail health, had been summoned to a session at 9:00 am (0700 GMT), but when he did not show up, lawmakers rescheduled the session for Monday. Committee head Temba Mliswa, an independent lawmaker, told reporters that the parliamentary committee was “cognizant of the fact that 9:00 am was a bit too early” for the former president to show up. He said the Monday session had been set for 2:00 pm, although no-one in Mugabe´s office would say whether or not he would attend.
