After over a month in hospital, Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi has been released from hospital and will be continuing his recovery at home.
BUTHELEZI OUT OF THE WOODS
In a statement released by his family, thanked everyone for their prayers, well-wishes and out pouring of love they received during what they call, ‘an extremely difficult time’.
Buthelezi had treated a Durban hospital after developing complications following a minor procedure to alleviate prolonged back pain in July.
Though well enough to be back home, family spokesperson Bhekuyise Buthelezi says the founder of Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP), will not be resuming his duties soon.
“As uMntwana now continues his recovery, we would like to again make the point that uMntwana will not immediately return to work”, says Bhekuyise.
“Therefore, he will not be able to meet with delegations at kwaPhindangene or his different offices, or resume his busy diary as yet,” he adds.
FAMILY ASKS FO SPACE
The family has also requested for the public to give the Prime Minister space and time to recover.
“We appeal again that we allow further time and space to fully recover, to regain his full strength, whereafter we will make an announcement as to when he is ready to return to some of his duties and responsibilities”.
The Buthelezi family also thanked iSilo King Misuzulu kaZwelithini, President Cyril Ramaphosa, former President Thabo Mbeki and Kgalema Motlanthe and Archbishop Thabo Makgoba and other leaders for their support.
