Vice President Constantino Chiwenga and Foreign Affairs minister Sibusiso Moyo are admitted at top South African hospitals where they are said to be in bad shape,

Chiwenga’s wife, Mary, was also being seen by doctors over a heart ailment.

The trio is being treated at the NetCare Pretoria East Hospital, the preferred medical facility of the eSwatini royal family.

“It’s really desperate with him. He remains in serious danger,” a source said of Chiwenga’s condition.

Chiwenga, the 62-year-old former army commander who only became Vice President last November after leading a military coup against former President Robert Mugabe, has not been seen publicly since attending a Zanu PF politburo meeting on October 4.
