A TOP aide to Zimbabwe's prime minister was sent to jail to await trial on charges linked to allegations that his party plotted President Robert Mugabe's violent overthrow.
Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai has said the case against Roy Bennett threatened the coalition he joined with Mugabe earlier this year. Bennett, nominated as deputy agriculture minister in the coalition, was charged with weapons offences. He denies them.
