President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his wife Auxillia and Health minister have all been exposed for making promises to the Makamba family they battled to keep their son alive.

Zororo Makamba succumbed to coronavirus yesterday becoming the first victim in Zimbabwe.

The family has accused Mnangagwa and his wife of making promises to intervene in their desperate situation to take full control of their son who had been admitted at Wilkins Hospital which they said had no medication, ventilators and even sockets to connect a ventilator they sourced from their own friends.

In an interview with Daily News, Makamba family spokesperson Tawanda Makamba said they reached out to the trio in their desperate bid to save their son but it all came to no avail as he unfortunately succumbed to the disease.

We reached out to President Emmerson Mnangagwa and First Lady Auxilia Mnangagwa who promised us that Zororo could be transferred to Beatrice and that there was a room for him. Nothing came out of this.

“We then appealed to Health minister Obadiah Moyo that since you are not prepared at Wilkins Hospital can we take him to Health Point and he refused.

“Minister Moyo said we could not take him there and that needed to be treated at Wilkins. We were puzzled and wondered how he could say that Zororo should be treated at Wilkins when they don’t even have plugs in his room to connect the ventilator.

“He promised us all sorts of things that this morning (yesterday) they would definitely be a ventilator and equipment but nothing materialised. If you go inside there you will see that they are not prepared to handle cases this side,” said Tawanda Makamba.
