Norman Magaya, the Chief Executive of the National Super Alliance (NASA), has taken to social media to dispel rumors of his death.
According to a statement posted on his Twitter account on September 17, 2019, Magaya confirmed that he was alive and recovering well after a heart attack.
"Contrary to fake news being perpetrated by agents of doom that I have passed away, I wish to confirm that I'm well and putting in a good fight to fully recover. I am safe under the care of competent medical doctors and I will be back stronger than before," Magaya wrote.
Orange Democratic Movement communications director Phillip Etale also urged online users to stop spreading false information about Magaya's health.
"Our brother Norman Magaya has settled well in India in readiness for the specialised treatment that took him there. He is in high spirits and confident that he will come out strong and healthy. As we continue praying for his full recovery, online mercenaries should stop being insensitive and desist from posting untruths about his condition," Etale wrote.
