Tsvangirai health

UPDATED: Tsvangirai goes on hunger strike

According to the leaked audio tape in possession of the Daily News On Sunday, Tsvangirai protested the seizure of his passport in a bedside meeting held 12 days ago attended by nephew Hebson Makuvise, his brothers Manase and Collins, sister Dzidzai and his uncle a Sekuru Zvaipa.

“Taurai zvamunotaura mukoma asi passport hamuiwani (You can say what you want but you won’t get the passport),” Manase says in a recording in possession of the Daily News on Sunday. “Iri pairi, haina kupiswa (It’s somewhere, we haven’t burnt it).” 

“Do you know it’s a criminal offence?” an agitated Tsvangirai interjects

“It’s a criminal offence tozviziva (we know),” Manasa shoots back.

Concerns over Tsvangirai’s health

Morgan Tsvangirai’s long absence due to ill-health has thrown the MDC into disarray amid rising concerns that with polls only less than five months away, the country’s largest opposition party could be missing an opportunity to deal with the former trade unionist’s succession.

Eddie Cross is offside – Muchayi

William Muchayi – Recent utterances by Hon Eddie Cross, the MDC Member of Parliament for Bulawayo South updating the world on Morgan Tsvangirai’s health can’t go unchallenged as the intrusion in his boss’s private life was in bad taste.

Eddie Cross writes on Tsvangirai’s health

Eddie Cross – Now, just as we expect a wave of support for our 2018 Chakachaya program, he is suffering from an aggressive form of colon cancer. He has been struggling with his treatment and the family is concerned that he might not handle the election and subsequently the responsibility of being President of a country in a deep crisis. After a lifetime of principled struggle, to have it all threatened by a disease in your body. Life can be a bastard at times.
