MEC Mahlangu doing well after hospital admission

Gauteng Health MEC Qedani Mahlangu is recuperating well at the Dr George Mukhari Academic hospital, said the provincial Health Department.

The department said the MEC is likely to be discharged in due course following her admission to the hospital on Wednesday afternoon.

MEC Mahlangu had been conducting site visits to different facilities in Tshwane as a build-up to the Gauteng government’s community outreach programme, Ntirhisano.

The MEC had complained about her health just before a public meeting to be addressed by Premier David Makhura and the Mayor of Tshwane Kgosientso Ramokgopa.

“She was rushed to the hospital and her doctors admitted her for observation and investigation to determine why she did not feel well.

“After observations, her treating doctors are confident that she will be discharged in due course. We wish to thank our health professionals for sterling work,” said the department’s spokesperson Steve Mabona. – SAnews.gov.za
