KZN premier returns all hale and hearty after collapse on stage.
The premier's spokesperson‚ Thami Ngidi‚ told SowetanLIVE that he was"fine" and was treated at hospital.
A few hours later‚ Mchunu returned to the Royal Show Grounds where he gave a press conference‚ dismissing speculation that he was gravely ill or had to stop working. Commenting on his health‚ Mchunu said his previous condition relating to a gallstone issue when he was speaker‚"was something that worried me".
"Today I think there was too much heat and there were some unusual lights‚ so I felt very hot and I needed water to help ... and I realised that very late into my speech.Mchunu said he was now looking forward to the next 72 days ahead of the elections in May and"timing myself because I don't see too much after the elections to deal with‚" Mchunu said.
"The main thing is handing over to the incoming premier‚ hopefully from the ANC. If he is not from the ANC‚ there won't be any handover‚ because any other party will have their own programmes."
