President Jacob Zuma has been admitted to hospital this evening to undergo a scheduled procedure to remove gall stones.
The gall stones were discovered about two months ago during a routine medical check-up. The President's work programme did not allow for the procedure to be undertaken earlier. The current period of recess in Parliament and Cabinet has provided this opportunity.
The President is expected to be discharged tomorrow on Sunday, 19 July 2015.
The Presidency wishes the President all of the best and a speedy recovery during this operation.
