Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi admitted to hospital
Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) founder Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi was admitted to hospital on Tuesday.
The family confirmed that the 93-year-old was being attended to for high blood pressure after feeling unwell on Monday night.
Family spokesperson Bhekuyise Buthelezi confirmed the news but reiterated the hospital stay was no need for heightened concern.
"He is simply undergoing medical tests," says Bhekuyise.
"His doctors felt it wise for him to be admitted to hospital for all the necessary checks, as this would also allow him to get some much-needed rest."
It's not the first time the politician's health has been thrust in the spotlight.
Last year December, Prince Buthelezi contracted Covid-19 a second time.
His first bout of Covid-19 was in August 2020.
