Zimbabwe Vice President Nkomo collapses

Zimbabwe’s Vice President John Nkomo is reportedly back in the country after collapsing last weekend and being airlifted to an exclusive clinic in South Africa for treatment on a ‘life threatening’ medical condition. It’s believed Nkomo was diagnosed with some type of cancer in 2008.

According to Media, Information and Publicity Minister Webster Shamu “he is back in town. He was in his office and was holding meetings on national healing. As we speak, he is walking out of the office to drive home. Just like anyone else he goes for regular check-ups.”

A South African paper reported that the 76 year old Nkomo collapsed at his Harare home. He was “weak and unable to walk unaided.” At the clinic, his condition was considered to be life-threatening, and doctors advised him to stay in for observation,” The Mail reported.
