President 'will be up to speech'
By TMG Editor - 09 June 2014
PRESIDENT Jacob Zuma should reach the "necessary levels of energy" for delivering his state of the nation speech next week.
ANC secretary-general Gwede Mantashe said Zuma was expected to be released from a Pretoria hospital late yesterday after being admitted on Saturday morning for routine tests.
His condition was attributed by the party to a gruelling 2014 election campaign.
Speculation has been rife that Zuma, 72, was felled by a mystery illness said to have struck him while delivering his opening remarks to the ANC national executive committee lekgotla in Centurion, near Pretoria, on Friday. - Olebogeng Molatlhwa
