The evidence gathered thus far strongly indicates that Mr Zuma’s legal team has prepared a medical report on his condition. While we won’t be making any additional statements on the document until the court proceedings have been concluded, Mhaga stated, “This is a confidential document and we will make no further comments.”

Recently, Zuma was brought to the hospital from the Estcourt Correctional Centre after he had been jailed there.
