By A Correspondent- The trial of former cabinet minister Prisca Mupfumira has kicked off with both Mupfumira and her then Permanent Secretary Mr Ngoni Masoka pleading not guilty to all charges laid against them.

Mupfumira who is facing multiple charges of corruption involving US$ 95 million, is on record pleading with the court for a postponment of her trial on the basis that she is mentally unfit to face trial.

The former minister who was arrested by the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) in July last year is facing corruption charges involving US$95 million.

High Court judge Justice Amy Tsanga later handed Mupfumira a lifeline after granting her $5 000 bail after denying her bail for close to two months. Justice Tsanga also ordered Mupfumira to surrender her passport and any other travel documents and report twice a week to her nearest police station.

She was also ordered to surrender the title deeds of her residence at 51 Fairway Mount Pleasant Harare as well as to continue residing at the same address.
