Mnangagwa has appointed VP Rtd General Chiwenga as the new minister of Health and Child Care. He replaces the disgraced Obadiah Moyo. Back to #Politics101. I have a distinct & very unsettling feeling that this is an indescribable threat to people’s lives! #ZimbabweanLivesMatter

Alex T Magaisa said:

The Ministry of Health is a pit full of Black Mambas, with potential to cause political death. Did Rtd General Constantino Chiwenga jump in or was he pushed? A man who regularly flies to China for private treatment now oversees a decrepit public healthcare system he doesn’t use!
