South Africa: Deputy President Mashatile Recovering Well While Work Continues In The Office


(MENAFN- APO Group)


The Office of the Deputy President has noted the article published by Sunday World concerning the Deputy President's health and his absence from some public engagements.

The Office reiterates the position communicated previously: the Deputy President became unwell while at home in Johannesburg and, under the supervision of his medical team, sought medical attention. He was admitted for a minor surgical procedure and observation, was subsequently discharged, and has continued to receive appropriate medical care and rest.

The Deputy President is recovering well and remains in contact with his office. His programme and official responsibilities continue to be managed appropriately during his recovery.

The Deputy President joined Parliament and has been participating in other crucial meetings related to his work on virtual platforms.

The Office respects the Deputy President's right to medical privacy and will therefore not comment on speculative or unverified claims.

We urge members of the public and media to rely on information issued through official channels rather than speculation or anonymous sources.

The Deputy President appreciates the messages of support and well wishes he has received and looks forward to resuming his full programme of official engagements when advised by his medical team.
