Minister Shamu criticised some local media houses that spread lies about the President’s health.
“Why do we spread rumours? Why do we lie about our Head of State? Why do we pander to the agenda of imperialists? The issue is about regime change,” Minister Shamu said.
He took a swipe at local media houses that are being used as tools by imperialists.
“They have always been at the forefront to denigrate the success of the revolution. We have a Press that is used to propagate the agenda of imperialism,” Minister Shamu said.
He said from the airport, President Mugabe was going to chair Cabinet.
Cabinet, which traditionally sits on Tuesday, met yesterday.
It could not meet on Tuesday as the President was away.
President Mugabe left the country for Singapore on March 31. His absence generated wild speculation about his health in the local private media and international news channels.
Rumours spread like veldfire with some local media houses even speculating about “the post-Mugabe era”.
News headlines in countries as far afield as Australia, Canada, Britain and the US went on to celebrate the death “of Africa’s longest serving President”.
The private media has always speculated about President Mugabe’s health whenever he travels outside the country on private business.
