27 Aug 2011 at 11:11hrs | Views
Late Friday night the Nkomo family were denying the rumours of John Nkomo's death.
Despite swirling rumours that Zimbabwe Vice President John Nkomo had died at a private hospital in South Africa, his son Jabulani has told a Zimbabwe Media house that "It's not true. I was speaking to him just now and dead people don't talk."
A relative also confirmed talking to Nkomo's son on Thursday who confirmed that Nkomo's condition is critical.
Minister for Media Information and Publicity Webster Shamu also dismissed the rumours saying "It's not true at all. These are the usual rumours that are thrown around by our detractors who do not seem to wish us well," he said. Nkomo's home in Milton Park in Harare showed no sign of a funeral wake.
Zanzele Ndebele also twitted that "Just spoke to his son, Jabu, who says that is bull!"
Nkomo was flown to South Africa after the burial of Retired General Solomon Mujuru on Saturday for medical attention.
Busani a close family friend had confirmed the news.
