Zimbabwe’s opposition party Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) has refuted claims that its leader Morgan Tsvangirai is in a critical condition in hospital.
This after a Zimbabwean newspaper reported that Tsvangirai was on Friday airlifted to South Africa on a life-support system.
Newsday says his condition deteriorated suddenly and became dire and that a doctor then recommended he go to South Africa.
He’s now believed to be at a hospital in Pretoria.
Tsvangirai disclosed last year that he was fighting colon cancer and has been undergoing chemotherapy.
MDC national spokesperson, Obert Gutto says, “All I can confirm is that he has gone to South Africa for a routine medical checkup.”
