News24Wire reports that Cosatu president Zingiswa Losi has rubbished claims that her predecessor and the current deputy minister of agriculture, land reform and rural development, S’dumo Dlamini, was poisoned.
Dlamini fell ill last month and was admitted to hospital ‘for a severe headache’. Speaking on Thursday, Losi said the family had indicated that there was no truth to the allegations. “We have been interacting with his office and we do get reports that he is recovering. The family issued a statement and said that is not true. We cannot then speak on that matter. The family said there is no truth that the former president was poisoned. We are told he is progressing really well,” she said. Earlier this month, ANC deputy secretary-general Jessie Duarte mentioned the gravity of Dlamini’s illness and said: “We are worried about him; he isn’t doing very well. We just hope that the cause is not poisoning. But whatever it is, we wish him well and we hope he recovers. He is a valuable member of our organisation and society.”
