By A Correspondent| National Constitutional Assembly leader Professor Lovemore Madhuku yesterday took the Covid-19 vaccination in Harare after missing out on the Victoria Falls event where other opposition leaders were jabbed together with President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

Posting on the microblogging site Twitter yesterday, Madhuku said vaccination was the only way to go to keep the fight against Covid-19.

“My turn came today. I got my first jab at Wilkins in Harare. Vaccination is the way to go as we keep the fight against Covid-19. Let us get vaccinated,” Madhuku said.

Responding to Twitter users who wanted to know why he was not vaccinated together with other political leaders including Linda Masarira and Douglas Mwonzora who were flown to the resort town of Victoria Falls by Mnangagwa, Madhuku said he missed the event due to reasons beyond his control.

“@ProfMadhuku are you not part of Polad leaders who got vaccinated in Vic Falls?” asked one user.

“I was not in Vic Falls due to circumstances beyond my control,” responded Madhuku.

In a video shared on ZimEye earlier, Madhuku was filmed addressing a funeral in Chipinge where he told mourners that he had decided against the Victoria Falls vaccination event to attend the burial of a villager in his own home area.
