Johannesburg, South Africa, (ADV) – The Zimbabwean President yesterday disclosed for the first time that his deputy Dr Constantino Chiwenga is not feeling well as he was addressing people during the Meet the People Rally in Mwenezi, Masvingo Province.
“Vice President Dr Constantino Chiwenga is not feeling well and is currently receiving medical attention,” said President Mnangagwa.
Few days back, unconfirmed reports by Spotlight Report suggested that the Zimbabwe Vice President, General (Rtd) Chiwenga could have been poisoned when the security forces under his command placed the former President Robert Mugabe under house arrest leading to his resignation.
“Chiwenga’s health problems could be the effects of ingesting lethal polonium- 210, a poison capable of causing cancer,” claimed the Spotlight disclosing that high-level sources in the defence ministry said that Chiwenga was rushed to India aboard a private plane through the Manyame Air Base in the capital for urgent treatment.
“As you can see, I have only Vice President Kembo Mohadi to assist me, the other Vice President, General Chiwenga, is not feeling well. So that is why he is not with us here. We thought it would be important to officially make this announcement because these are our senior Politburo members. The national chairman (national chairperson Cde Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri) is also not here. She had to receive her regular treatment for the injuries she suffered during the bomb explosion.
“When the bombing incident happened in Bulawayo, Cde Chinomona and Vice President Cde Mohadi also got injured, but it’s good that we have them here,” added Mnangagwa.
