Former President Robert Mugabe who has been in Singapore for
the past two months can no longer walk, according to President Mnangagwa.
“We have just received a message that he is better now and
will return on Nov. 30. He can no longer walk but we will continue taking care
of him,” Mnangagwa said, referring to Mugabe by his totem name Gushungo.
“We want to thank you, vaGushungo, Mambo Zvimba, you gave
us your son. Ndimi makabereka mwana uyu. Ndiye akatifambisa muhondo
tikasunungura nyika kudzamara tasvika gore rapfuura iri vakomberedzwa nezvimwe
zvivanhu. Zvimhandu zvazvavakomberedza tikazvitakanyira kure.
“Tinotenda Mambo Zvimba, tirikuvachengeta, vava mutana
wedu, vakura iko zvino vava nemwedzi miviri yadarika vari kuSingapore.”
He said Mr Mugabe was supposed to return to Zimbabwe on
October 15, but Government received a message that he was not yet feeling well
enough and extended his treatment.
Mr Mugabe, President Mnangagwa said, was now expected home
on November 30.
“He is the founding father of the nation of Zimbabwe. He is
our founding father of a free Zimbabwe. There could be others who would want to
distort our history, but they should also know that Zimbabwe’s founding father
is Gushungo,” he said.
President Mnangagwa said his predecessor was now out of the
clutches of those who had captured him.
“We are moving on with the revolution because those who had
captured the former president had little knowledge of the revolution,” he said.
