Zimbabwe VP returns after months of medical care in China

FILE IMAGE: Zimbabwe's vice president Constantino Chiwenga speaks at a mining investment conference in Harare, Zimbabwe, on February 28 2018.Zimbabwe's Vice President Constantino Chiwenga, who led the ousting of Robert Mugabe, returned home Saturday, four months after he was airlifted to China for medical care, state media reported.

Chiwenga, 63, who is seen as a major power-broker in Zimbabwean politics, had been in and out of hospital since the start of this year. In July, the government said he was being flown to China for"further tests" after he had been hospitalised in neighbouring South Africa.Zimbabwe's public health services have practically collapsed and more than 400 doctors have been sacked in recent weeks after they stopped going to work saying their salaries - decimated by hyperinflation - were not even enough for the commute to hospitals.

Where do ordinary Zimbabweans go for medical treatment? South Africa of course, for free with our limited resources. How much did the VP spend in China? Or was the cost paid by the cash strapped Zim Govt? How nice?

Poisoned like zuma

So Zimbabwe doesn't have hospitals? Or they all like Mamelodi day Hospital?

There should be less sick leaders. Where was our deputy president when the president went to Japan?
