Zimbabweans pray for Tsvangirai health dominates social media

Zimbabweans are talking about little else than opposition leader Morgan Tsvangira's health ever since the former prime minister in the government bravely disclosed on Monday that he was battling colon cancer.

At the same time some analysts have said while Tsvangirai's health challenges cloud impact negative on his and the MDC's 2018 elections campaign, his laudable move to play open cards with his illness could give him and his party a massive sympathy bump during those eagerly anticipated polls.

However most worryingly ,some MDC supporters were speculating dangerously that the former trade union leader may have been poisoned during the days of the country's unity government , while a few among his political foes were crassly suggesting that that Tsvangirai was faking his illness to draw sympathy from the electorate.
