The ANC has wished its former president Jacob Zuma a speedy recovery after his surgery at the weekend.
“Mr Zuma underwent a surgical procedure on Saturday, with other procedures scheduled for the coming days. As a result, DCS is unable to predict a discharge date as our priority at this stage is for Mr Zuma to be afforded the best care possible,” the department said in a statement on Sunday.
Zuma is serving 15 months in jail for contempt of the Constitutional Court ruling that he present himself before the state capture inquiry. He has been under medical supervision by staff from the SA Military Health Services since his admission at the Estcourt Correctional Centre. Zuma could not attend his arms deal case last week and it was postponed to September 9 and 10 as a result of his hospitalisation.
In the arms deal case, Zuma is accused of receiving an annual bribe of R500,000 from French arms dealer Thales for protection from an investigation into the controversial arms deal.TimesLIVE
