The Labour, Economist and African Democrats party has denied claims that party leader Linda Masarira was poisoned following hospitalisation last week Tuesday.

Masarira was hospitalised following an asthma and pneumonia attack.

LEAD spokesperson, Everjoy Chidindi said Masarira was discharged on Friday and is recovering at home.

“She was discharged from hospital on Friday after suffering from severe pneumonia and an asthma attack on Tuesday last week.

“There was no case of poison and these are just speculative unfounded claims from a group of people without information.

Posting on X, the LEAD party leader expressed gratitude to all who supported her and posted encouraging messages during the brief stint of a health attack, while giving a recovery update.

“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. 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.

“I am overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity that you have shown me, and I want to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you. Your thoughtfulness has brought light to my darkest days, and I am truly blessed to have such incredible people in my corner.

“I suffered an asthma attack coupled with pneumonia last week. I am grateful that I made it alive. Musikavanhu is faithful. 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,” Masarira wrote.

Masarira is one of many politicians who have constantly challenged government on policy making and inclusivity, especially on the part of women’s rights and equal wealth appropriation and beneficiation.
