South African President Ramaphosa Steps Back From Public Duties Over Ill Health

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has suspended public engagements after doctors advised him to rest following his return from the BRICS summit in India. His absence coincides with Deputy President Paul Mashatile’s recovery from a minor medical procedure, leaving both of South Africa’s top leaders away from public duties. Ramaphosa has asked ministers to represent him at scheduled events where possible. The development comes as the country heads into a busy political period ahead of local government elections on November 4.
