The bail hearing of incarcerated Pastor Evan Mawarire, the #ThisFlag front-man failed to be heard at the High Court in Harare today.
Instead the clergyman is now expected to appear in court on Wednesday as the State was still to file its papers.
Mawarire was arrested at the Harare International Airport last week sparking condemnation locally and from as far as France.
Mawarire was charged by the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) with "subverting a constitutional government" .
Mawarire was at the forefront of a string of protests last year.
In April of that year, Mawarire posted a video on Facebook attacking state corruption and the government's failure to provide basic services.
He wore a Zimbabwean flag in the video, which led to the naming of the campaign "ThisFlag."
