Zanu-PF Slams Eddie Cross Over 'Mugabe Is Dead' Report

ZANU-PF yesterday castigated MDC-T national executive member Eddie Cross whom the ruling party said wants to pretend to be closer to God after he recently published falsehoods around President Mugabe's health.

In a lengthy article on his blog last Friday, Cross claimed that President Mugabe was incapacitated after allegedly suffering a stroke.

Cross made startling claims in which he traced the President's journey from the Sadc summit in Swaziland, a small pit stop in Harare for supposed refuelling and picking up of medical personnel, another stop in Lusaka, Zambia, allegedly forced by Mugabe's deteriorating condition.

According to Cross whose article was quoted by some publications, the President was then rushed to Dubai for further urgent attention and alleged it would be a miracle if he made it back home alive.

However, his claims were proved false when President Mugabe arrived in the country from a visit in the United Arab Emirates a day after the reports.

Zanu-PF Bulawayo provincial commissar Nacisio Makhulumo yesterday said Mr Cross, the Bulawayo South legislator had committed a very shameful act even by the opposition's low standards.

"It's unfortunate that we are governed by the constitution otherwise we would have told him to go hang. He is a devil. Only a devil can wish death upon another human being," said Makhulumo.

He said Cross was blinded by a misguided sense of white superiority to mistake his "hallucinations" for fact.

"These white people came to our country with a gun and a bible to colonise and oppress us. They thought they were superior and closer to God and this can be seen in the conduct of Eddie Cross. I'm very ashamed by his conduct, even in politics you don't wish death on another person," said Makhulumo.

"Our President is here to stay and no amount of ill will from the likes of Cross will ever change that. He was given the mandate to rule by the people when he won the 2013 elections by an overwhelming majority."

Makhulumo said it was up to the people and not naysayers like Mr Cross to determine the President's continued reign as the Head of State.

"The next elections are in 2018 and that is when the people will decide and with ours being a party of choice there is no prize for guessing that the people will put their trust in him," he said.

Speaking to journalists soon after landing at the Harare International Airport last Saturday, President Mugabe drew laughter when he said, "Yes, I was dead. It's true I was dead. I resurrected like I always do. Once I get back to my country, I am real."

Mugabe said he had gone to Dubai to check on his son, Robert Jr, who is studying there.
