The Buthelezi’s family issued a statement on Saturday 8 August saying that the founder and president emeritus of the Inkatha Freedom Party was in self-isolation for the mandatory period.
“Please rest assured that we will keep you informed of his progress and will advise when he is back in office. During this period of self-isolation, members of the media are kindly respected to respect our space.”The Buthelezis said they were aware that many families had journeyed this road of infection and the overwhelming majority had emerged to full recovery.This week, Health Minister Zweli Mkhize warned that there was an increase in infections in Kwazulu-Natal.
Buthelezi joins a growing list of politicians who have tested positive including Minerals and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe, Trade and Industry Minister Ebrahim Patel, North West Premier Job Mokgoro, Western Cape Premier Alan Winde and Gauteng Premier David Makhura.
