Northern Cape Premier Dipuo Peters has undergone major abdominal surgery at the city’s Kimberley Hospital Complex, a provincial health official said on Monday.
”The procedure was successful and she is recuperating satisfactorily,” Dr Dion Theys, medical director at the Kimberley hospital, said on Monday afternoon.
Theys said Peters was admitted to hospital on Sunday for the scheduled operation.
”It was not an emergency. It is something we had been doing tests on and she finally had to go in for surgery,” he said.
Theys said it was hoped that Peters would be discharged from hospital by the weekend. — Sapa
