In the latest to come out of Zimbabwe is that the Health Minister Obadiah Moyo's arrest after claims of corruption surfaced regarding a deal to procure coronavirus test kits. He has since been granted bail which was not opposed by prosecutors who are investigating three charges, including an "abuse of office" charge that carries a maximum sentence of 15 years. Meanwhile Zimbabwe is seeking talks with foreign creditors to clear decades of debt, warning that without more funds the cash-strapped government may not cope with the economic impact from COVID-19. Zimbabwe's struggling economy has further slumped due to the lockdown over the coronavirus. But critics of the request note Zimbabwe's history of corruption and failure to service its debt.

To help us unpack all these we are joined by:

• Dr Webster Zambara is the Senior Project Leader for peace building initiatives at the Institute for Justice and Reconciliation -
• Simon Muchemwa is Channel Africa Zimbabwe correspondent -
