Zimbabwean President Has Prostate Cancer, Says New Wikileaks Release
By Fungai Maboreke Special to the NNPA from the Global Information Network
Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has cancer and was told in 2008 that he had about five more years to live, according to a newly published United States diplomatic cable.
In one of the so-called wikileaks cables released, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe Governor Dr Gideon Gono, who is also President Mugabes personal banker and a close family confidante, disclosed this news to former U.S. Ambassador James McGee during a private meeting.
McGee was quoted as saying, according to Gono, Mugabes doctor had recommended he cut back on his activities, adding that Gono told us last year (2007) that Mugabe was ill and that his doctor had urged him to step down immediately. Further, Mugabe told his doctor, according to Gono, that he would leave office after the election.
Rumors of Mugabes illness have been swirling around and they have been further exacerbated by his frequent trips to Singapore, where it is believed he is receiving treatment.
