By Eric Hungwe| Emmerson Mnangagwa’s deputy Constantino Chiwenga lost balance and fell in front of his local church congregation.

The embarrassing incident happened on Sunday morning at the Roman Catholic church where he attends Sunday mass.

Chiwenga was at the time receiving the holy communion when he reportedly fell.

He only managed to maintain his balance after his young wife Mary assisted him, impeccable sources told ZimEye.

The development comes as an anonymous worshipper at the same Roman Catholic church recently donated a brand new (2019 reg number) vehicle to the local priest.

“The donor does not want to be known,” a source told ZimEye.com

Speculation was rife that the donor is none other than the VP.

Sources however told this publication that the donor preferred to “remain anonymous”.

Ever since removing former President Robert Mugabe in November 2017, Chiwenga has collapsed on numerous occasions.

Early last year, he reportedly collapsed while he was inside government offices.

The former army general is allegedly suffering from an undisclosed ailment which has seen him spent time abroad receiving medical treatment.
