Speaking at the Blue Roof this morning, President Emmerson Mnangagwa said Vice President Constantino Chiwenga was operated on this morning and the procedure had been a success.

He said, the VP was recuperating well and he calls every morning asking about developments regarding the late former President Robert Mugabe’s funeral.

Said Mnangagwa:

“…VP Chiwenga calls every morning asking about the situation. This morning i spoke to him. He came out of theatre around 9:30 this morning. His operation was a success. He was saying when i get here, i should say to you Soko (Grace Mugabe’s totem), I will live and i will come alive. That is what he (Chiwenga) said this morning when he came out of theatre.”
