Zimbabwe’s Minister of Environment, Climate and Water, Ms Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri, has lost one of her breasts after the explosion that rocked the campaign rally of President Emmerson Mnangagwa last Saturday.
Muchinguri-Kashiri, who is also the National Chairperson of the ruling Zanu-PF, has been airlifted to South Africa for reconstruction surgery.
The Environment, Climate and Water minister was among 49 people injured at the rally.
She was first rushed to the Catholic-run Mater Dei Hospital in Bulawayo and then evacuated to Manyame Airbase Hospital along with other VIPs who sustained injuries during the explosion, in which Mnangagwa was lucky to escape unhurt.
The Daily News reports that the 59-year-old top Zanu PF official actually got one of her breasts ripped off.
“It’s actually the breast not chest,” a senior authoritative establishment official told the Daily News, while revealing she was airlifted to South Africa on Wednesday.
“It’ s not a small matter. Mai Muchinguri is in shock and in bad shape.”
David Parirenyatwa, the Health and Child Care minister, confirmed yesterday that she sustained injuries to her breast.”
