By Own Correspondent| Seasoned Journalist and former Editor of The Daily News Stanley Gama has tweeted that Foreign Affairs minister Sibusiso Moyo is currently in a South African hospital where he is undergoing a complicated procedure.
Gama said his source told him the famous November 17 coup announcer was in an Intensive Care Unit.
SB Moyo has been in and out of hospital since he suffered a reported heart failure sometime last year.
I’m reliably informed that Min of Foreign Affairs SB Moyo is admitted at a South African hospital where he is undergoing a complicated procedure. The source says he is in ICU. This is not officially verified yet. @Jamwanda2 and @nickmangwana please help on this one. Where is he?

So it’s confirmed that SB Moyo is in SA for an op. I obviously pray he gets well. SB and Zanu PF bigwigs can be flown to SA for treatment, but does this govt ever think of the thousands dying due to lack of medical care. @edmnangagwa pple are dying like rats in Zim.

Government of Zimbabwe is currently embroiled in a long battle with junior doctors who have gone for over 70 days without reporting for duty, demanding to be paid salaries commensurate with the skyrocketing cost of living.
The situation has crippled the country’s health delivery system with patients being turned away while the number of deaths recorded during the strike has been kept a secret by the government.
