Jacob Zuma: 'Exhausted' President In Hospital

Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 07 Juni 2014 | 23.18

South African president Jacob Zuma has been admitted to hospital for tests after being 'exhausted' following a tiring election campaign.

His office said doctors were "satisfied with his condition" and a spokesman added: "There is no cause for concern. It's a case of exhaustion".

On Friday, it was announced Mr Zuma would take a few days off from public appearances but continue performing official duties from home following the May poll.

His office said he had been been advised to rest after "a demanding election and transition programme to the new administration".

The president's spokesman Mac Maharaj said: "It's been a hectic period and there has been a need for some rest."

Two weeks ago, the 72-year-old politician was sworn in for a second time as president.

It came after his ANC party won the election on May 7 with an overwhelming 62% of the vote.

At his swearing-in ceremony, he vowed "economic transformation" would take "centre stage" in his new term in power.

He pledged the economy would be put on an "inclusive growth path" and promised to promote "broad-based black economic empowerment".

There have been concerns that much of the economy remains in the hands of South Africa's white minority.

In his speech to a cheering crowd of thousands, Mr Zuma said his country was "a much better place to live in now than before 1994".

But he added that poverty, unemployment and other problems persisted despite many improvements.
