Zimbabwe's Vice President, Constantino Chiwenga airlifted to South Africa for emergency medical treatment

Zimbabwe’s Vice President Constantino Chiwenga has again been airlifted to a South African hospital for emergency medical treatment after his health had deteriorated over the weekend.
According to reports, Chiwenga fell ill after attending a brief politburo meeting and checked in at Avenues Clinic; an elite hospital in the capital Harare. Chiwenga was later airlifted to a hospital in Cape Town after his health deteriorated over the weekend.

Back in October 2018, the VP was treated for “exhaustion” and 1980s injuries from the war of liberation. Chiwenga and his wife, Mary, have been showing signs of illness, with visibly swollen hands and discoloured skin patches, something he said was due to poisoning.

Last year, Chiwenga suggested he was paying the price for removing former President Robert Mugabe, triggering speculation he might have been poisoned.

The worst crime a family can do is marrying their scumbag son to an innocent girl in the hope he will miraculously change" Arab influencer writes

An Arab influencer has raised a discussion about families marrying off their sons who are not responsible enough, to innocent girls. He pointed out that it has become common and when the man's behaviour doesn't improve after marriage, the woman is blamed. Abed Alii tweeted: "The worst crime a family can do is marrying their son, who they know is a scum bag, to an innocent girl in the hope he will miraculously change... "My sympathies are always with the womenfolk. They leave their family and come to an absolutely new one, without any support and then get abused. I’ve heard that so many times. 'maybe she’ll change him. She will make him change his bad habits. She’s a good girl.' It’s not her job to educate your son at the risk of damaging her mental Health! And vice versa... let’s keep it real." He added that it goes both ways and he has seen it happen to someone he knows. Read his tweets below.
