Picture: ANA ReporterPietermaritzburg - Outgoing KwaZulu-Natal Premier Willies Mchunu assured members of the public that he was fine and blamed excessive heat for his on-stage collapse during the State of the Province Address on Wednesday. His speech, which many saw as his last hurrah, was completed by economic development MEC Sihle Zikalala.
Just a couple of hours later, Mchunu was back at the Royal Showgrounds and appeared in fine spirits, joking with former president Jacob Zuma and Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini kaBhekuzulu, who attended the event. Addressing the media, Mchunu said he would continue discharging his duties until the end of his term as doctors had given him a clean bill of health following the collapse.
