MK Party leader Jacob Zuma expected home after hospital stay
A source close to the MK Party leader says Jacob Zuma is recovering after undergoing medical checks, while officials and family members have rejected reports that he was critically ill.
Former President Jacob Zuma is reportedly in high spirits and recovering well in a hospital in KwaZulu-Natal, according to the Jacob Zuma Foundation. The foundation expressed gratitude to the government for requesting privacy for the ailing former president. The spokesperson, Mzwanele Manyi, also thanked the public for their concern and urged respect for his privacy, particularly from the media.
Manyi mentioned that as of yesterday, sources indicated Zuma was in excellent condition, joking and interested in resuming his "umshini wami" performances. The foundation expressed concern over journalists camping outside the hospital, deeming the behavior un-African.
