Concerns have emerged about the ill-health of former president Jacob Zuma after he collapsed on Friday (just one of a number of recent incidents) and, as a result, was forced to suspend campaign activities for the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party.

News24 has reliably learnt from four independent sources that Zuma’s ill-health has raised concern among doctors and his security team. 

The fall on Friday, two sources said, was attributed to fatigue and low blood pressure.
