The Witness has approached the MK Party and Zuma’s family for confirmation and comment.

JG Zuma Foundation spokesperson Mzwanele Manyi declined to comment on former president Jacob Zuma’s visit to the hospital.

“It could be that he is visiting a relative who is admitted in hospital. Former presidents do visit hospitals all the time. Why is it that when it’s former president Zuma it becomes a big story? This is an invasion of his privacy,” he said.

Multiple reliable sources have confirmed that Zuma remains in hospital.
