‘Poisoned’ Mahofa avoids conference food

AILING Masvingo Provincial Affairs minister, Shuvai Ben Mahofa (pictured), who last year left the Zanu PF conference in a huff as she rushed to seek treatment in South Africa after allegedly eating poisoned food, this year resolved not to leave anything to chance as she avoided eating food served at the ruling party’s just-ended conference in Masvingo.

Mahofa last year spent nearly three months in a private South African hospital, and only resumed her duties in April this year.

But, close family members dismissed the food poisoning narrative as false, saying she had a chronic heart and kidney problem.
