Former president FW de Klerk was doing well after weekend surgery to remove a colon tumour, a spokesperson for Cape Town’s Panorama Medi-Clinic said on Monday.
Melissa Rademan said he was still in the general intensive-care unit. A decision had yet to be taken on when he would be moved to a general ward.
”His condition is still stable, he’s doing well, he’s talking to people,” she said.
The FW de Klerk Foundation said in a statement on Saturday, after the operation, that the procedure had been a success and there were no signs that the tumour had spread.
He had cancelled all his engagements for the next month to allow himself time to recuperate. — Sapa
