The ruling Zanu PF has confirmed that its National Commissar Victor Matemadanda was ill but remained mum on the cause of his illness, in what confirms that all is not well in the ruling party.

The party’s Acting Secretary for Information and Publicity, Patrick Chinamasa, in a statement last night said Matemadanda has been unwell since 14 November.

“Cde Victor Matemadanda’s sudden illness was accompanied by itchiness of eyes, sweating profusely, swelling of the body and vomiting badly, resulting in him rushing for medial attendance. He has since been attended to and is recovering well as other symptoms have disappeared except itchiness of eyes which is still persisting. Medical tests are being carried out and the doctors are examining the situation to establish what could have caused the illness,” he said.

Why is Zanu PF and state media afraid of confirming Matemadanda’s poisoning incident?
