VANCOUVER/CAPE TOWN– First Lady, Grace Mugabe, will be lucky to live beyond twelve months, as her colon cancer condition is life threatening and irreversible, medical doctors have told The Telescope News.
Grace has been in and out of hospital since 2011, initially portraying her health woes, as nothing more than back pains suffered while she was exercising in the gym, at the presidential mansion in Harare’s posh Borrowdale residence.
“It was exaggerated by the reports that I am ill and about to die. I only hurt my back in the gym and I am very fit,” Grace said at the time. Suspicion that all was not well was further raised, when she was rushed to Singapore in early 2012, and the official cover up, was that she had fell in a bathroom, thereby dislocating a hip. Mugabe’s wordsmith, George Charamba, went on to add more speculation, by admitting that Grace was battling illness, and had not fully recovered from her last son, Bellarmine Chatunga’s birth complications.
This publication, was the first to report and reveal partial details about the first lady’s cancer scare, on 13 June 2014. The report, by this reporter brought to light allegations now verified, that Grace was suffering from a chronic form of cancer, resulting in her current visible weight loss, which has forced her to remove her trademark dreadlocks.
It is also now apparent that, the first lady had to remove her dreadlocks, as she had just began taking chemotherapy treatment, which normally results in the loss of hair, experts said. Most cancer patients end up making a clean shave of their hair.
“If truth be told Grace Mugabe has less than a year to live,” said the team leader of Canadian doctors, who were in Zimbabwe recently to volunteer at a rural health facility. “She is suffering from a mature type of Colon cancer. This type of cancer is the second deadliest killer in the world, claiming close to 300 000 lives. You have lung and bronchial cancer as the deadliest killer with about 793 000 victims annually. In third place is breast cancer, with 206 983 victims. The unfortunate risk is that, Colon cancer grows in the tissues of the colon, whereas rectal cancer grows in the last few inches of the large intestine near the anus.”
Grace is this week in Indonesia, together with President Robert Mugabe, attending the Asia-Africa Summit and the ceremony to mark the 60th anniversary of the Bandung conference.
As we reported yesterday, the first lady, according to a presidential official traveling with Mugabe’s party, is not interested in the summit, and is reportedly going to use the opportunity to visit Singapore, which is just next door for check-up and treatment of her cancer.
A flight from Jakarta, Indonesia to Singapore is just 1 hour, 37 minutes.
“Amai (Grace Mugabe) has no business at the Indonesia event, she might attend the official ceremony, but the trip is indeed a blessing, as she will visit Singapore for health care and treatment,” said the presidential official.
Singapore has now literally become a second home for Grace and the rest of the first family. Last year, the media became abuzz with their Christmas holiday pictures, unwittingly posted on a social media platform, by Bellarmine Mugabe, showing everyone in a party mood, save for Mugabe, who appeared bored and tired.
Grace has dismissed reports about her serious illness, putting up a brave face before journalists, and even joking about it during a recent State visit to South Africa by Mugabe. “I’m dead! I’m a corpse,” said Grace after being asked by South African journalists about her health condition.
