VETERAN ACTIVIST ELLEN KHUZWAYO IN ICU

VETERAN human rights campaigner Ellen Khuzwayo, who was admitted to hospital after collapsing on election day last week, was on Friday still “very ill” and being assessed on a 24-hour basis. Khuzwayo, (84) who was admitted to the Tshepo Themba Hospital in Dobsonville, Soweto, is undergoing a series of tests to ascertain the nature of her illness. Her doctor, who may not be named for professional reasons, says Khuzwayo was initially treated for pneumonia, but she has since developed other complications.
