Healing Prayer Preparations for Former President Jacob Zuma at Nkandla

• Former President Jacob Zuma's supporters plan to gather outside his home in Nkandla to pray for his health
• Zuma is said to be in need of medical treatment that will take at least six months to restore his health
• His supporters also said that they are praying that the former president will soon be released from prison

NKANDLA - Reports state that a tent has been pitched at former President Jacob Zuma's homestead in Nkandla as preparations for a prayer meeting for his health are underway.

This comes after Zuma's health was put in the spotlight by his legal team who stated that Zuma suffered a massive injury last year and as result, it would take doctors at least six months to treat him and restore his health.

Zuma also failed to appear in the Pietermaritzburg High Court on Tuesday for his arms deal corruption trial because he is currently in hospital. According to TimesLIVE, Zuma's undisclosed injury has gone untreated for as long as it did because of his numerous court appearances and his imprisonment.
