First Lady Grace Mugabe has revealed that her body is under attack from numerous ailments years running culminating to the last one this year which was cancer at the intestines.
Speaking during her birthday celebrations in Harare, Grace indicated she has been slain by numerous attacks the latest one which was cancer.
She told delegates, “I am, therefore, most grateful to you all for accepting the invitation to come here to celebrate with me and my family the precious gift of life which God has given me over these past 50 years.
“They have been 50 years full of illnesses for me. The other day when I returned from Singapore after I had been hospitalised, I had undergone surgery there, and I was trying to narrate to people my medical history.
“I am a very strong person. I don;t think if I wasn’t that strong I would be here today. When we were coming over to this marquee here I was saying to my husband ‘thank you very much for being there for me, I have been very sick and you have been always on my side’ and I went on to say ‘if it wasn’t for you, for that support morally and financially I would be dead by now’. I went on to say to him that ‘I don’t think if I were married to somebody else I would be alive today because I have gone through a lot’.”
Mrs Mugabe said it all started in 1986 when she had her tonsils taken out and 10 years later in 1996 she was under the knife again when her gall bladder was removed because she had developed gall stones.
“And then 10 years after, in 2006, I contracted pneumonia and the doctors started treating me for malaria and then they realised that no it wasn’t malaria, it was pneumonia and the treatment came quite late,” she said.
“I almost lost my life there, but God wanted me to live for a reason, I suppose for the children that I have adopted. By the way, the children are now 90 of them. The 90th one came only two days ago from Masvingo.”
She said a few months ago she went under the knife again to have her appendix removed.
Although she said that the ailment was an appendix infection, close family sources have revealed that she was actually attacked by colon cancer.
She continued, “so, you can imagine, I was talking with people in hospital that you know the doctors, they are giving me anesthesia and then they view my body,” she said. “I have gone under body viewing many times by the doctors inside out.
“But I thank God because I am a very strong person. I do not think a person would have gone through so many operations would be as strong as I am, but I thank God for that.”

  1. It is politically suicidal that when you are running for high office you lay bare your sorry health status like this, because then you give opposing forces so much ammunition who will relay to the povo that a country cannot be lead by a walking coffin
