Former president Jacob Zuma will undergo further surgery this week, following an op on Saturday.
The Department of Correctional Services (DCS) confirmed that Zuma remains in hospital outside Estcourt Correctional Centre where he is serving a 15-month sentence.
“Mr Zuma underwent a surgical procedure on Saturday, 14 August 2021, 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,” DCS said in a statement.
Zuma was hospitalised on Friday, 6 August, for an undisclosed illness following a routine medical check up.
