Harare – Zimbabwe’s Vice President Kembo Mohadi has inherited ousted president Robert Mugabe’s penchant for foreign hospitals, following his departure to seek medical treatment outside the country, while the state was firing 16 000 public hospital nurses for engaging in an industrial action for demanding their dues.
Mohadi’s departure was subsequently followed by former police Chief Augustine Chihuri, who is wanted by parliament to answer on allegations of siphoning millions through a secretive diamond operation in the Chiadzwa diamond fields.Mugabe was heavily criticised for using state funds to seek treatment in Singapore, for a recurrent alignment reported as an eye cataract by his spokesperson, though many speculated that he was suffering from prostate cancer.
“The VP Mohadi is not feeling well and he is outside the country right now, but he has said that when he feels better he will actually appear before the committee to speak on the diamond issue,” legislator, Themba Mliswa said, wishing him a speedy recovery.

Chihuri has been reported to have gone AWOL, wrote to the parliament to be excused in order to seek medical attention abroad.
“The former Commissioner-General of Police has written to Parliament to say he is not feeling well and that he is out of the country. He expressed his readiness to come, so we will have to determine when he can come.”
The action by the two officials has incensed the masses, who endure the torture of ill-equipped hospitals and a crumbling health system.
“May God bless the South African Nurses currently attending to our beloved VP Kembo Mohadi in South Africa? May their government pay them well? May there be adequate equipment and drugs in that hospital. May the nurses never be fired,” wrote one citizen.
Zimbabwe’s healthcare institutions have been on the free-fall for the past two decades, since the onset of the economic ruin after the year 2000. Eight years later, 4 000 people died of cholera, as the country suffered its worst outbreak in decades, with the health system failing to cope. - Online Sources
