Zimbabwe’s energy ministry has apologised for lying about a $10m (£7.9m) government energy payment to South Africa’s power utility company Eskom, and posted a receipt of proof of payment on Twitter.
"Lies have short legs. This is what I lied about. I am sorry," wrote Fortune Chasi.

The receipt showed that the payment was made on Monday. Chasi had previously said the government's debts were paid last week, prompting Eskom to issue a statement that it had received no funds.
Zimbabwe owes both Mozambique and South Africa tens of millions in arrears for electricity supply.
