Vice President Constantino Chiwenga has returned from China where he received medical treatment for two weeks, George Charamba confirms to Zimlive.
The foemer Army General Constantino Chiwenga spent the greater part of last year in hospitals in South Africa, India and China, where he received treatment for more than six months.
He told his family and friends when he returned home in December that he had been treated for esophageal stricture, the abnormal narrowing of the esophagus which causes patients difficulties in swallowing and leads to dramatic weight loss.
Before his latest trip, he had returned to China at least once since December for what Charamba described as a “routine medical check-up”.
George Charamba, the spokesman for the presidency, confirmed that Chiwenga was back in the country.
“I haven’t seen him as yet, but I can confirm he’s back. You’d have heard that on Friday, the president appointed him chairman of the Covid-19 taskforce and that tells you he will hit the ground running,” Charamba told ZimLive .
