A furious President Mugabe returned home from South Africa and confronted VP Mnangagwa about his claims that he was poisoned.
Mnangagwa is said to have denied ever saying that.
He said what he said was that whatever happened to the late Shuvai Mahofa had happened to him.
Mugabe is said to have asked him if he had done a post mortem on Mahofa.
President Robert Mugabe upon touching down at Harare International Airport appeared to poke at and physically slap Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa in what appears to be an act of anger.
