VICE President Joice Mujuru and one of her sidekicks Nicholas Goche who were both implicated in the plot to assassinate President Mugabe yesterday missed the final Politburo meeting ahead of Congress on account of illness.
Goche was said to be seriously ill as he was admitted in the Intensive Care Unit of a Harare private hospital, with sources saying he was suffering from hypertension in the wake of the exposure of his scandalous utterances and subsequent decision to opt out of the Central Committee elections.
Minister of State in the Vice President's Office Flora Buka, who is also linked to the Mujuru cabal, is reported to have collapsed after losing in the Central Committee elections held at Mutora Growth Point in Nembudziya on Tuesday.
VP Mujuru who is now the outgoing Zanu-PF Second Secretary after she failed to secure a Central Committee position, missed yesterday's Politburo meeting on health grounds.
It is understood that the VP gave an apology that she was ill and as such she could not attend the crucial meeting.
Goche was admitted at a private hospital in Borrowdale on Tuesday.
Although the doctors at the up-market medical facility refused to disclose his sickness, they confirmed that Goche was critically ill and in the Intensive Care Unit.
The doctors said his condition had seriously deteriorated, but they were closely monitoring him.
"Yes, I can confirm that he was admitted at our hospital on Tuesday," said one of the doctors at the hospital. "He's quite serious, but due to our medical ethics I can't disclose the nature of his ailment to you save to say that he's in the Intensive Care Unit.
"We're guided by doctor-patient confidentiality and as such we aren't allowed to disclose such private information unless if he (Goche) authorised us to do so."
Another doctor at the same hospital said people were being restricted to visit Goche because of his serious condition.
Our sources in Midlands confirmed that Buka collapsed in Nembudziya soon after the announcement of Central Committee election results.
"I think she was shocked, especially considering that it was her second successive defeat after she was booted out of the Women's League in August."
Buka lost her Central Committee bid to Leonard Chikomba after garnering 74 votes against 169.
