Harare – President Robert Mugabe‘s nephew Patrick Zhuwawo has reportedly said that his uncle has hardly slept since the military seized power on Wednesday.
According to Reuters, Zhuwawo, however, said that Mugabe’s health was otherwise “good”.
Zhuwawo reportedly said this from a secret location in South Africa.
He said that Mugabe and his wife Grace had no intention of stepping down, adding that they were “ready to die for what is correct”.
Dube spoke as thousands of residents of the capital pushed closer to the official State House in a massive rally calling on Mugabe to go.
Mugabe remained under military house arrest and was said to be resisting efforts to step aside.
Dube said:”we are just going to properly send the old man away as early as tomorrow or so”.
Provincial branches of the ruling party have passed no-confidence votes in Mugabe and called for the Central Committee to meet this weekend and recall him as party leader. They also wanted first lady Grace recalled as head of the women’s league.
Durban – President Jacob Zuma on Saturday called on South Africans to support the people of Zimbabwe.
There is a growing call for Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe to step down after the military placed him under house arrest.
“We wish to reiterate our commitment to support the people of Zimbabwe during this difficult period. A stable and peaceful SADC (Southern African Development Community) region is in our best interest and Zimbabwe is a critical member of our regional community,” he said.
Zuma made the remarks at the launch of the KZN Invest SA One Stop Shop in Durban.
He said South Africa had historical, economic, cultural and political ties with Zimbabwe.
SADC is committed to providing support to the people of Zimbabwe to resolve the political situation in that country, said Zuma.
“Earlier in the week I spoke to President Robert Mugabe in my capacity as current chair of SADC. I also sent two special envoys to Harare. The envoys had fruitful meetings with Mugabe, some government ministers and some leaders of the Zimbabwean defence force.
“Although it’s early days, we are cautiously optimistic that the situation will be resolved amicably,” said Zuma.
He also reaffirmed the African Union directive against unconstitutional changes in government within the continent.
Chiefs were handicapped in the 26 minute when 17-year-old midfield sensation Wiseman Meyiwa was sent from the field for launching a studs-up tackle on Wits winger Daine Klate.
During a heated few moments between several players from both sides and referee Victor Homes, Chiefs midfielder Willard Katsande was also shown a yellow card for dissent.
Wits took little time to make the one-man advantage count, with English striker James Keene heading home in the 29th minute.
Earlier, Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune did well to keep a powerful shot from Wits’ Egyptian striker Amr Gamal out, while the well-worked offside trap of the Clever Boys caught out Siphiwe Tshabalala and Bernard Parker on several occasions.
Wits had several chances to increase the scoreline during the game while Chiefs, even playing a man short, deserved credit for taking the game to the hosts, particularly in the final quarter of the match.
The win means that Wits coach Gavin Hunt will now have an opportunity to contest for the only domestic trophy that has eluded him in his coaching career. To date, he has won the league four times as well as collecting three cup triumphs.
Wits will begin preparations to take on Mamelodi Sundowns in league action on Tuesday at the same venue, while Kaizer Chiefs will be searching for three valuable league points against Amazulu in Durban a day later.
Wits are the current Premier Soccer League (PSL) champions but have struggled to find form this season and even face relegation, at this early point.
Saturday’s win will be a welcome boost to the struggling side, which only won two out of nine matches thus far in the PSL.
Wits will play the winner of Sunday’s other semi-final between Polokwane City and Bloemfontein Celtic.

Since inception in 2012, MediFin has financed hundreds of patients throughout South Africa using an online application process, allowing patients to apply from the palm of their hands and keeping the entire process completely confidential. Many patients need to have medical procedures done that fall outside the medical aid scope. This often results in delays on urgent procedures or the neglecting of one’s personal health due to the lack of savings – this is where MediFin assists. We offer finance for expensive procedures making important life decisions affordable, says CEO Tiaan De Jager.
Client offering:
MediFin’s goal is to provide people with the opportunity and financial solution to “Be the best version of themselves” where they may not be in a position to afford the large upfront capital investment of medical procedures. MediFin Financial Services was designed to offer clients a finance option with great flexibility, which includes payment to the doctor directly, a zero deposit, no early settlement penalties, and repayment structures of up to 48 months. Their innovative solution provides clients with an alternative to rising medical insurance tariffs and depleted savings plans and is one of the only options available for elective medical procedures.
This is done through the following means:
Business partner offering: MediFin has over 400 Medical partners in its network, ranging from dental practitioners, to radiology and fertility specialists, to cosmetic surgeons – just to name a few categories. These medical practitioners have recognised the benefit of partnering with MediFin due to its unique value propositions:
We pay the practitioner 100% of the procedure cost upfront, improving their cashflow.
Higher conversion rates – financing patients who would otherwise have declined quotations due to no affordability.
Improved customer service by not having to turn clients away.
Looking to the future: In 2017 MediFin increased their financial services offering to include various insurance products. In an attempt to offer a more turnkey solution to their patients, it was a natural way to offer insurance against procedures that carried slightly more risk than others. They now offer travel insurance, GAP cover and emergency medical insurance which can be bought online in under five minutes – refer https://insurance.medifin.co.za/medifin.
In an effort to further extend their reach, MediFin is looking to partner with great businesses that are pioneers in the medical arena. This is evidenced by their most recent partnerships with Iyeza Health, Ear Institute, Cape Fertility Clinic and MediConnect. MediFin’s online presence and business model continues to prosper as they partner with likeminded companies that share a common vision of putting the patient first.
