Former president Jacob Zuma has been hospitalised, his family said on Tuesday.
“He left [Nkandla] yesterday [Monday] during the day. It is just a regular check-up, it’s not bad,” said Zuma’s brother Khanya.
“We are not overly worried because it is just a regular check-up — nothing serious. He goes to the doctor from time to time but he is not sick.Department of correctional services spokesperson Singabakho Nxumalo said he could not confirm that Zuma had been hospitalised.Zuma was admitted to a military hospital for medical treatment in August, shortly after he began serving his 15-month jail term at the Estcourt Correctional Centre for contempt of court.
A source close to Zuma, who did not wish to be named, said: “They drove there and they will be there for the whole week. Although I'm not sure about the seriousness, he is sick. But that man is a survivor, he will pull through.”
