MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai yesterday cancelled a planned MDC-T national executive committee meeting to fly to South Africa, amid reports that his health required urgent attention.
"The national executive was supposed to meet on Friday (today), but the meeting has since been postponed because he had to leave the country on medical grounds," this paper heard.
However, Tsvangirai's spokesperson Luke Tamborinyoka was not forthcoming when contacted for comment.
"Private visits cannot be news stories. He is around," Tamborinyoka said.
The MDC-T leader chaired the party's national council meeting on Wednesday and had planned to meet the national executive today before cancelling the meeting.
Tsvangirai, who announced two years ago that he was battling cancer of the colon, has been travelling to South Africa for specialist treatment since then.
