The South African president‘s office said that the rumors on social media about President Cyril Ramaphosa being sick and in a military hospital in Pretoria are not true.
This happened after Mr Ramaphosa didn’t go to a meeting arranged by the ruling African National Congress (ANC) on Sunday in Mpumalanga province.
The ANC said Mr. Ramaphosa couldn’t go to the meeting because he had a sudden problem.
The announcement made people start talking and guessing about the president’s health.
“The president is okay, he didn’t go to the hospital, and there was no urgent situation,” said Vincent Magwenya, who speaks for the president, on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday.
Mr Magwenya said the president has chosen to stay at home for the rest of the day because he has a busy week ahead. He called the rumors “mean and not true”.
