Farai Dziva|Harare South MP Tongai Mnangagwa has tested positive for COVID-19.

Mnangagwa, quoted by Open Parly said:

” COVID-19 is real, is painful and people must exercise precautions in order to stay safe.

It is with great dismay that I have to deliver this news to you my friends and colleagues. I have tested positive for coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and I am appealing to everyone who has been in contact with me to take precautionary measures and get tested and/or go into isolation whilst practicing all the safety precautions.”

“This is not something easy, it deters you from your loved ones and also affects the people around you that love you.

Its is not a situation I would want anyone to be in…. Its a painful road, having to get up each day and hope to make it to the next.

I sometimes experience pain that is so excruciating that I feel like letting go. This disease has taken away our loved ones and continues to do so and this is sad.

It would not be fair for me not to open up because I know I work with a lot of people and I do not want to see them lose their lives. I also owe it to the electorate who voted for me to get into Parliament to represent them.”
