President Mnangagwa Condoles With Masuku Family

Minister of State for Provincial Affairs in Bulawayo Angeline Masuku collapsed today at White City Stadium where she was attending the Independence Day celebrations.  She collapsed in the middle of reading President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s speech at White City Stadium on Wednesday.
Masuku, who walks with the aid of a walking stick, started sweating and stammering before whispering to people who were seated around her to come and assist her. <a href="http://www.newzimbabwe.com/minister-masuku-collpased-while-reading-uhuru-speech-takes-30-minutes-for-nurses-to-rescucitate-her/">NewZimbabwe.com</a> reports that Masuku’s aides, security details and nurses took almost 30 minutes to resuscitate her before she finally proceeded with her speech after being attended to by nurses.
Masuku had earlier on taken her time to inspect the guard of honour mounted by the police, army and the prison services. Before her collapse, she had also repeatedly read the same sentences which she had read before. Provincial Administrator, Khonzani Ncube told the gathering that minister Masuku had been advised by her doctor to rest but she claimed that the minister had insisted on attending the occasion because she “loves the day”.
Masuku was suspended, along with 18 other members for attending a war veterans meeting addressed by Christopher Mutsvangwa and Jabulani Sibanda in March 2016. However, in July 2017 the suspension was lifted. She was appointed Minister of State for Provincial Affairs in Bulawayo by President Emmerson Mnangagwa on December 1, 2017 following Operation Restore Legacy.

UPDATED: Minister Collapses During Independence Day Celebrations

In an interview with The Chronicle, Minister of State for Provincial Affairs in Bulawayo, Angeline Masuku who is also a member of Zanu-PF’s National Consultative Assembly, warned the party’s members to stop hero worshiping its leaders to the point where they become gods.
Said Masuku:
<blockquote>We are to blame (for what was happening). People should stop singing songs that glorify a leader. We should work together. I recently stopped women from singing to me saying “Nxa umama ekhona konke kulungile.” We should be collective “Nxa omama bekhona konke kulungile”. Those individual praises create gods out of leaders yet leaders are part of the people. We’re to blame because a leader does not praise himself or herself, it’s us who shower him or her with praises. I wish you could emphasise this, when a leader has been appointed, our people should stop destroying the leader by giving him or her praises to an extent that he or she sees himself or herself above the people.</blockquote>
