HARARE - The rumour mill around President Robert Mugabe's health swelled
yesterday after the 87 year-old leader was spotted at Medical Chambers in
Harare but his spokesperson George Charamba immeditely dismissed any health
fears on his boss.
The Daily News was inundated with calls from staff and patients at Medical
Chambers along Baines Avenue when Mugabe arrived there with his
extra-ordinarily long motorcade comprising of his Mercedez Benz Limousine,
motor bikes, an ambulance, army vehicles, smaller Mercedes Benz vehicles and
trucks.
Business came to a standstill while Mugabe was going about his business at
the clinic.
The Daily News crew rushed to the medical centre but due to the heavy
presence of armed soldiers and security personnel it was difficult to find
out where exactly the octogenarian leader was and why he had to cut short
the Cabinet meeting to rush to Medical Chambers.
Inquiries by the Daily News revealed that Mugabe was at Medical Chambers for
about an hour and reportedly arrived there between 12pm and 1pm.
Charamba worsened the speculation when contacted by the Daily News and could
neither deny nor confirm if Mugabe had gone for an emergency check up.
He first claimed that Mugabe was chairing Cabinet at a time when he was
supposed to be at Medical Chambers but immediately changed stance on
realising that the Daily News had solid facts on the issue. The paper had
already confirmed that Mugabe had temporarily left cabinet during the time
he was spotted at Medical Chambers.
He then turned and attacked the Daily News for wishing Mugabe ill.
Each time that you see Zim One (Mugabes official vehicle) parked outside a
hospital you say the President is ill, cant he have a sister who is sick,
or a son? Which country do you live in? Dont you know that his sister was
taken ill after the death of Sabina? Charamba said.
This added a further twist to the puzzle as Medical Chambers does not admit
patients. It is a centre for different kinds of tests and is full of
specialists.
Charamba added: The health of the president is not an issue of national
interest except for the Daily News. You have been focusing on it for the
past three months.
You said the president is on his death bed and I produced him and said there
is the president. However, the Daily News never said Mugabe was on his
death bed.
At the Medical Chambers soldiers from the presidential guard unit were
stationed at the entrance of the centre and some at different corners.
Inside the medical centre, armed security men spotted in their trade mark
dark glasses and shiny suits maintained a heavy presence.
