Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The opposition Labour, Economists and African Democrats (LEAD) party has denied claims that party leader Linda Masarira was poisoned after she was hospitalised on Tuesday last week at a local Harare hospital.<\/p>\n

ZimLive reported LEAD national spokesperson Everjoy Chidindi as saying Masarira suffered a bout of pneumonia and an asthma attack.<\/p>\n

Chidindi said Masarira was discharged last Friday and is recovering at home. She said:<\/p>\n

She (Masarira) was discharged from hospital on Friday after suffering from severe pneumonia and an asthma attack on Tuesday last week.<\/p>\n

There was no case of poison and these are just speculative unfounded claims from a group of people without information.
\nFriends, family and other political parties across the political divide have offered a lot of moral support and she is truly humbled to receive plenty of healing mercies.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Masarira thanked her friends, family and supporters for their support, adding that she was recovering well. She posted on X:<\/p>\n

Dear Friends, family, fans\/supporters, community, haters, etc<\/p>\n

I am deeply touched and grateful for the outpouring of love, support, and get-well messages that I have received during this health-challenging time.<\/p>\n

Your kind words and encouragement have meant the world to me, and I am truly humbled by the incredible show of solidarity from all of you.<\/p>\n

I am constantly reminded of the incredible impact that every one of you has on my life. Your unwavering support has been a source of strength and inspiration for me, and I am so thankful to have such an amazing online and offline community standing by my side.<\/p>\n

I am overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity that you have shown me, and I want to express my deepest gratitude to each one of you.<\/p>\n

Your thoughtfulness has brought light to my darkest days, and I am truly blessed to have such incredible people in my corner.<\/p>\n

I suffered an asthma attack coupled with pneumonia last week. I am grateful that I made it alive. Musikavanhu is faithful.<\/p>\n

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your well wishes, prayers, and positive energy. I am on the road to recovery, and I look forward to returning to my work with renewed energy and passion. Many thanks in no small part to all of you.<\/p>\n
