​

Zimbabwean Vice President John Nkomo has died at the age of 79 after a battle with cancer.
He died in South Africa on Thursday 17 Jan 2013.
Vice-President John Nkomo was on Sunday rushed to South Africa for medical treatment after his health deteriorated, a day after appearing in public at the burial of Retired General Solomon Mujuru at the National Heroes’ Acre in Harare.

Nkomo’s death removes a potential successor to ageing President Robert Mugabe who has his own health problems.
The VP was nominated for the joint number two position alongside Joice Mujuru two years ago after a factitious meeting of the southern African nation's ruling Zanu-PF party.

Vice President John Nkomo has died. Nkomo died Thursday morning aged 79 after battling with cancer for years, highly placed government sources confirmed.

Family spokesperson Mr Samuel Sipepa Nkomo, who is also the Minister of Water Resources
and Development, said VP Nkomo succumbed to cancer this morning at St Annes Hospital in Harare. He said VP Nkomo had been admitted at the hospital yesterday when his condition deteriorated.
Last week his brother, Sipepa Nkomo had told The Financial Gazette that Nkomo was undergoing treatment in Cape Town but was not hospitalised.
“No, he is not in hospital. He is undergoing chemo (chemotherapy) from home but his condition has really improved,” Sipepa Nkomo had said.
Last year in December Zimbabwe was plunged into a whirlwind of speculation after several unnamed family members had claimed that Nkomo had died quietly while surrounded by his family in Bulawayo.
Two year ago Nkomo scoffed at “Harare’s rumour mill” which claimed he had died. “This can only be the work of Western-sponsored foreign newspapers that carried the story,” a frail looking Nkomo told a rally in Matabeleland.
Speaking in Ndebele Nkomo said “I will and can only die when the Lord wants to take my life away. In fact, I will be here (on earth) for the next Presidential election next year so prepare for that.”
Nkomo had been in and out of hospital and regularly flown to South Africa for treatment. His son Jabulani has had to constantly deny rumours of his death. Last month saw Jabulani deny the fourth false rumour about his father’s death.
More details on the Nkomo story as we get them…..
Below are some highlights from his political career.
Career: Member of African National Congress, 1958-59; joined National Democratic Party, 1960; joined the Zimbabwe African People’s Union, 1961-; arrested and detained at Gonakudzingwa for two years, 1966-68;

VP John Landa Nkomo

Rest In Peace....and may the Eternal ressurect you in the last day, that D-Day of ressurection and joy for those who gave Him praise when alive. D-Day for those who also did not glorify and magnify the beauty of His presence while on earth.

Rest in Peace, Sir.
