| Mugabe Sidelined With Chest Pains? |
| 2004-02-22 |
| Chest pains forced President Robert Mugabe, who just turned 80, to cancel a speech at the funeral of a former ruling party legislator, the state broadcaster reported Sunday. The Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation later said Mugabe attended the funeral of 67-year-old Julia Zvobgo but could not speak because of a "problem with his voice." That can happen when you have angina. As a doc I don’t ordinarily wish anyone ill health, but if Bob’s coronaries arteries were to be 95% blocked right now, it’d only be merciful for me to wish him a quiet and speedy exit. The report came a day after Mugabe in an interview marking his 80th birthday revealed a suspected attempt on his life by a presidential cook who allegedly put ground glass in his food. Perhaps it was ergotamine that the chef slipped in there. Police refused to confirm the date of incident or identity of the chef. Or whether he’s still alive. |
