ZIFA boss and Harare businessman Phillip Chiyangwa has cleared the air on wild rumours circulating on his health.
Many Zimbabweans early this year began twirling stories that the man is unwell. A recent picture shot of Chiyangwa way back in January was used to inflame those claims. A ZimEye.com contributor on the LIVE-REPORT program yesterday furthermore charged suggesting Chiyangwa is no longer capable of holding office.
But a strong, astute and focused Chiyangwa speaking live from Harare challenged the rumours with evidence. He spoke out revealing a condition for which he obtained a specialist operation in South Africa from which he has now fully recovered. He said he has been suffering from “hypothyroidism” (WATCH VIDEO BELOW). The British Thyroid Foundation described it as the name given to the condition resulting from an under-active thyroid gland. This means that it is not producing enough thyroid hormone for the body’s needs.
It can be caused by:
- Autoimmune thyroid disease – the most common cause. This is a self-destructive process in which the body’s immune system attacks the thyroid cells as though they were foreign cells. The most common form is known as ‘Hashimoto’s thyroiditis’
- Radioactive iodine treatment, or surgery, to correct hyperthyroidism or to treat thyroid cancer
- Antithyroid drugs if given for an over-active thyroid disorder in too large a dose
- Medicines such as lithium (used for certain mental disorders) and amiodarone (used to control particular heart problems)
- Some cough medicines containing large amounts of iodine can also interfere with the way the thyroid functions
- Some health foods taken in excess, e.g. kelp (seaweed)
- A malfunction of the pituitary gland (a gland in the brain that regulates the thyroid hormones)
- Radiation for head and neck cancers.

You are so misguided and spread hate. I am Ndebele and you don’t speak on behalf of our people you speak on behalf of your own hate maybe a shona person took your wife or girlfriend.

Since when has a Shona ever been inclusive. You can see, everywhere they write in Gukurahundi and speak their Gukurahundi with abandon to who so ever, except of course to the white man whom they worship. You call that being inclusive?
Look at Tswangirayi, he is busy strategising to eliminate Khuphe from succeeding him, and you call that inclusive?
Look at Gukurahundi ZANU PF, where, when have you ever heard a Mthwakazi name being touted as a possible successor to Mugabe?
You go to Zim embassies in numerous foreign countries – you would think you are in Mashonaland, yet you are overseas.
You can name it – its all pro-Shona everywhere and exclusionary against Mthwakazi!!

I’m impressed Chiyanwa shows real maturity. Unlike in the past where it was all about himself this interview showed that Chiyangwa is now focused on national issues and is more inclusive regonizing that the povo can help financing important national agendas.

Why are most Shona Gukurahundis falling sick like this nowadays? Looks like their sins of Gukurahundi and tribalism against Mthwakazi are being revenged by the spirits of the Mthwakazi dead viciously!!
