24 February 2020
Former president Jacob Zuma will attend the opening of the KwaZulu-Natal legislature if his health allows, Speaker Nontembeko Boyce said on Monday.
Speaking to a large media contingent at the Oceanic Hemisphere Hotel on Durban's North Beach, Boyce said they had already consulted most political parties regarding Zuma's possible attendance.
"He is a former president and he has been invited. This is in line with our own institutional arrangement of sharing information. We shared this information with all parties. We have received confirmation from the office of premier that former president Zuma, health allowing, will be attending."
Confirming Zuma's potential attendance, spokesperson Carl Niehaus said the former head of state's health took priority.
