South African President Cyril Ramaphosa says he has ordered Fikile Mbalula to rest after the minister collapses at the Constitutional Court (ConCourt). Ramaphosa says Mbalula is recovering following the incident and should not return to work until he fully regains his health.
Both outlets report Ramaphosa’s account of the episode, framing it as a health scare rather than a political event. Ramaphosa characterises the collapse in terms of the physical strain of carrying ongoing responsibilities, and he presents rest and recovery as the next step before resuming duties. The coverage is limited to Ramaphosa’s statements, with no additional details from medical sources or further actions described in the provided reports.
