Lekoto ready to go home

Defence Minister Mosiuoa Lekota has improved to such an extent following his heart attack in Cape Town last week that he has been moved to Two Military Hospital in Wynberg. Lekota received treatment in the intensive care unit at the Gatesville Hospital in Athlone following his heart attack. Lekota’s spokesperson is reported as saying the minister’s health was not at risk any more and that he wanted to go home. Lekota would need about three weeks to regain his health completely. An acting minister will not be appointed despite the fact that Lekota will miss a crucial ANC National Executive Committee meeting later this week.
