By Own Correspondent| The former president Robert Mugabe failed his Parliament appearance today at 9 a.m.

Mugabe is to be grilled on his knowledge of the missing diamond revenue since he is the originator of the expose that Zimbabwe lost more than 15 billion worth of diamond Revenue. Mugabe made the revelations during the time he was President and in the last few weeks Parliament has heard from his own police and Intelligence subordinates.

Speaking early morning at around 11 a.m. the head of the parliamentary portfolio for mines and energy Hon. Temba Mliswa, said Mugabe had been written to so that he appears this morning.

He said however the committee made a reconsideration, after it was determined that 9 a.m. is too early for him since during his time of work he used to start late.

Mugabe will now as an alternative appear next Monday at 2 p.m. WATCH THE LIVE COVERAGE BELOW –
