Military intelligence sources have revealed that Vice President Constantino Chiwenga’s health problems could be the effects of ingesting lethal polonium- 210, a poison capable of causing cancer.

If the information disclosed to Spotlight Zimbabwe reporters by military sources is true General Chiwenga is left with less than 140 days to live.

The poison can kill its victim within a period six days but can stay in the system for 140 days or slightly more and the damage it causes is irreversible, even after surging for more than 140 days the victims of polonium ingestion are likely to die.

Polonium-210’sphysical half life is 140 days. This means that half its radioactivity dies away in this time.

Its biological half life is 40 days, so it takes 40 days for biological processes to eliminate half of the Polonium-210 in the body.

Polonium radiation destroys DNA and can lead to cell death and cancer. Polonium-210 is a known carcinogen. When inhaled, it causes lung cancer. When swallowed, it becomes concentrated in red blood cells, before spreading to the liver, kidneys, bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract, and the testicles.
