President, Cabinet vaccinated against cholera

PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa and his Cabinet ministers were yesterday vaccinated against cholera at his Munhumutapa government offices in Harare, marking the first round of the immunisation against the waterborne disease that has so far claimed 54 lives since its outbreak two months ago.

Mnangagwa said by taking the step to be vaccinated, it showed that he was a listening leader.

“My Cabinet is composed of listening ministers and servant ministers, and they hear the voice of advice from our minister of Health (Dr Obadiah Moyo) that it is necessary that our people get this dose as prevention to cholera,” Mnangagwa said.
