HARARE (Reuters) - Zimbabwean Vice-President John Nkomo died in South Africa on Thursday after years of battling cancer, a Zimbabwean political source said, removing a potential successor to ageing President Robert Mugabe, who has his own health problems.
Nkomo, 78, was nominated for the joint number two position alongside Joice Mujuru two years ago after a fractious meeting of the southern African nation's ruling ZANU-PF party.
