Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi has been discharged from hospital, and will now continue his recovery and recuperation outside of hospital.
The news of the Zulu Nation Traditional Prime Minister’s return home, after a lengthy stay in hospital, was confirmed by the Buthelezi family on Saturday, 02 September.
Buthelezi underwent a procedure for back pain management in July, which saw him return to hospital due to complications a few days later.
Prince Buthelezi who turned 95-years on 27 August, will not return to work immediately, and the family have asked that he be given the space and time to recover fully, and regain his strength.
“We wish to once more thank every South African for all your prayers and well wishes. It has really been this outpouring of love that has carried uMntwana to a point where he is now healthy enough to be discharged from hospital.
As uMtnwana now continues his recovery, we would like to again make the point that uMntwana will not immediately return to work.
Therefore, he will not be able to meet with delegations at KwaPhindangene or his different offices, or resume his busy diary as yet.”
The family will make an announcement when Prince Buthelezi is ready to return to some of his duties and responsibilities.
