ANC Women’s League president Bathabile Dlamini has been admitted to hospital for Covid-19 treatment.
In a statement, ANC spokesperson Pule Mabe said that Dlamini, who is also an NEC member, was admitted on Tuesday.
“We wish Comrade Bathabile a speedy recovery and hope that she successfully completes her medical treatment so that she can return to office and continue serving the movement. Comrade Bathabile’s courage and resolve to beat Covid-19 should inspire all of us to stand together against this pandemic,” said Mabe.
He called on all South Africans “to defend each other and protect one another”.
The party wished her a speedy recovery and urged all South Africans to observe social distancing regulations and to vaccinate.
On Tuesday, it was announced the former minister will be prosecuted for perjury.
This relates to her testimony during an inquiry by the Constitutional Court in 2018 into the social grant crisis.
