Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Former president Jacob Zuma has been admitted to hospital and is undergoing tests for an unknown ailment, says JG Zuma Foundation spokesperson Mzwanele Manyi.<\/p>\n

“[Former] president Jacob Zuma is in hospital as we speak. Doctors are running tests, but they don’t have test results as yet. He is under strict observation,” Manyi added.<\/p>\n

He was speaking shortly after Zuma’s corruption trial was postponed to 17 May.<\/p>\n

Zuma’s reconsideration application related to the Supreme Court of Appeal’s dismissal of his “special plea” efforts to force the removal of prosecutor Billy Downer.<\/p>\n

High Court grants access to former president Jacob Zuma’s tax records<\/p>\n

Manyi said that he would update the public, but would not give details regarding which hospital Zuma was in.<\/p>\n

“He is not even at home, he is in hospital. I will not say which hospital because that is a security issue. We will give updates as it unfolds.”<\/p>\n

Manyi was also mum on the former president’s ailment.<\/p>\n

“He is unwell, let’s leave it there. The degree [of his ill-health] is a technical matter I do not have competence of. I keep getting reports from doctors.”<\/p>\n

Manyi, however, said a medical certificate was being sent to lawyers.<\/p>\n

“The doctors have sent a medical certificate with a lot of detail as we speak. They will send it to the lawyers who will show it to the judge.”<\/p>\n

In August last year, the former president was hospitalised while serving a 15-month jail term for defying a Constitutional Court ruling that he should appear before the State Capture Inquiry.<\/p>\n

In 2020 Zuma’s lawyers presented a sick note to Judge Dhaya Pillay during his corruption trial. At the time, she said this was not enough evidence to show why he could not attend his trial.<\/p>\n

Pillay had said while Zuma might indeed be sick, there was insufficient evidence before her to prove this.<\/p>\n

Despite showing the note’s issuing by One Military Hospital and a Dr ZK Motene, Pillay raised a few concerns.<\/p>\n

The document did not mention Zuma’s condition, only stating “medical condition” in a block next to the term “Laymans diagnosis (with consent of the patient)”, something Pillay said was unclear.<\/p>\n
