Coming when it did, it added to the tension already surrounding the murder trial of Cabinet Minister Edgar Tekere that begins in Salisbury this week. The manner in which the trial of the radical and powerful Minister of Manpower, Planning and Development is conducted, and its eventual outcome, will be widely regarded as a crucial test of Mugabe's control over his promising, but fractious, young country.
