UPDATE | Zuma in hospital as MK Party says he is ‘healthy and in good spirits’

Former president Jacob Zuma has been admitted to a hospital in Pietermaritzburg for a routine medical check-up.

The uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party said Zuma undergoes the check-up twice a year and sought to reassure supporters about his condition.

“He is healthy and in good spirits. His campaign will continue on Friday,” the party said.

A close family associate told IOL that Zuma was feeling unwell, but it was not serious. 

“The admission coincided with his routine medical check-up.”
