Former South African President Jacob Zuma was discharged from hospital after being admitted last week, eNCA reported on its website on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zuma, who leads the uMkhonto weSizwe Party, was taken to hospital by ambulance on 6 October for what the party said was a routine medical check-up, local media reported last week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
ENCA said that he was discharged on Monday night from a hospital in Pietermaritzburg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The state of his health has raised questions about the extent to which Zuma would be able to campaign in the country\u2019s 4 November municipal elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The MKP aims to extend its inroads into the support of Zuma\u2019s former party, the African National Congress, that it made in South Africa\u2019s 2024 general elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ANC lost its parliamentary majority for the first time since the end of White-minority rule three decades earlier, hurt by voter anger over poor public service delivery and high unemployment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
