Zimbabwe’s main opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai has rejected media reports that he is “seriously ill” in a South African hospital.

He was reported to be critically ill after his “condition deteriorated rapidly” on Monday but the former prime minister of Zimbabwe said he is rather doing well.

In a message posted on his twitter account, Mr. Tsvangirai said he was shocked to “read in the press that I am in a critical condition.”


Reuters report quoted a source from Tsvangirai’s  Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) as saying on Tuesday that the veteran opposition leader was “critically ill”, adding that his supporters should “brace for the worst”.

Tsvangirai who announced in 2016 that he had been diagnosed with colon cancer and had begun chemotherapy said “Of course I have cancer and not feeling too well but I am stable and the process is under control.”
