Cephas George Msipa
Patrick Chitumba, Midlands Bureau Chief
FORMER Midlands provincial governor, Cde Cephas Msipa, who is admitted at a private hospital in Harare, is said to be now out of danger.
The former Zanu-PF politburo member is said to be now breathing unaided. He has been admitted at the hospital since Friday complaining of chest pains.
In an interview yesterday his son Douglas said his father was responding well to medication.
He dismissed social media reports which were saying that the former freedom fighter had died.
“Cde Msipa is responding well to medication. He is out of danger and the doctors have since removed the oxygen mask he was using to breathe. He can now breathe on his own and is talking to visitors. We are grateful for everyone’s prayers,” he said.
His son said several top Zanu-PF officials, among them national commissar Saviour Kasukuwere, visited him at the hospital. — @pchitumba1
