Masvingo Minister Shuvai Mahofa is still in a mysterious coma after her hospitalisation just after the ZANU PF conference in December.
Mahofa (74) is currently in secret confinement at a private hospital in Harare, over an mysterious ailment which some ZANU PF sources say is of food poisoning at the party’s Victoria Falls conference.
Beyond those claims however, she has lately been visibly struggling to officiate at State functions due to old age and ill health.
A picture of her revealed by ZimEye.com taken last year (with her grandchildren) shows her body ballooning in weight.

Last year in July, Mahofa demanded that her Benjamin Burombo House office in Masvingo be moved from the second floor to the ground floor because she was having trouble climbing the steep stairs.
In August this year, she failed to lay wreaths on graves of provincial heroes in Masvingo and declined an invitation to deliver her speech at the podium.
“She is still to recover I will let you know if the situation changes,” a top source close to her told ZimEye.com while refusing to disclose the exact diagnosis conducted on her.
