British agents connived with SA police to plant cholera and anthrax bugs and more British agents were in the country to seed more cholera bugs, Zimbabwean minister of information, Ndlovu has asserted. Cholera has so far claimed more than 800 lives in the beleaguered southern African country.

Ndlovu told journalists at a media briefing in the capital Harare that the cholera outbreak that has been declared a national emergency was planted by the British more than 28 years ago and was also being re-planted to justify the regime change agenda in the southern African country.
"Cholera is a calculated racist terrorist attack on Zimbabwe by the unrepentant former Colonial power which has enlisted support from its American and Western allies so that they can invade the country, install their imperialist megaphone stooge who will allow them to re-posses our land, gold, diamonds, platinum chrome, coal and all other resources," said Ndlovu.
'The current cholera and anthrax were planted in various parts of Zimbabwe. Today the British Intelligence and American CIA want to invade Zimbabwe with military force to save the Zimbabwe people from Mugabe's cholera- the cholera which is theirs and which they seeded in various parts of the country," he said.
Ndlovu charged that covet chemical war operatives were in Zimbabwe from Britain to "seed more cholera."
He added: "We have seen the outbreak now because they believe that this is the time to remove the present government from office. The British operatives are in the country now under disguise and have increased cholera and anthrax seeding. There has been a replanting of cholera and anthrax, it’s also still in the testing tubes in labs."
He said that cholera and anthrax can stay in the soil and gestate over many years. "This is a serious biological chemical weapon and genocidal warfare on our people by the British still fighting to decolonize Zimbabwe," said Ndlovu.
"In the peri-urban it was planted in the forest, and the cholera bug is now geminating and attacking people. This is not a disease originating from Zimbabwe. The covert operations went out at night and planted cholera," he added.
Quoting from a book titled; "Plague Wars, A true story of Biological warfare by Tom Mangold and Jeff Goldburg-1999", Ndlovu said that more than 2000 South African police were used in planting the cholera seed during the war.
"The colonial informant as researched by Goldburg identified 2000 South African police who joined the Rhodesian forces with a sole purpose of planting the seed of anthrax and cholera in the Beitbridge area. They planted also in Matabeleland North, the western part of Zimbabwe where Zipra operated, in the Midlands and Mashonaland West," he said.
Ndlovu statement comes a day after President Robert Mugabe announced that there was no cholera in Zimbabwe.
