Even though 72-year old South African president, Jacob Zuma, spent 2 days in hospital for "routine health checks", his spokesman has said his health is fine although he had to hand over to Vice President Cyril Ramaphosa for five days to recover.
Zuma's spokesman, Mac Maharaj, said he would not be "engaged on rumours" about the health of the president.
"What I can say is, the president is fine, attending to his duties
and his doctors say there's no cause for concern about his medical
condition," he said.
WorldBulletin reported in his first public appearance after almost two weeks on Tuesday when
he delivered the state of nation address, Zuma looked frail and appeared
to have lost weight.
Worries about Zuma's health have raised some speculation that he may not see out the full five years of his second term.
The ANC won a 62 percent majority in the May elections, its fifth but
also its narrowest victory since the end of white-minority government
in 1994.
