Political parties in KwaZulu-Natal are praying for the speedy recovery of Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi, founder of the IFP.
Buthelezi, 94, was admitted to hospital last week and his ill health has been a matter of concern.
Speaking on behalf of Buthelezi and his family, Liezl van der Merwe said Buthelezi was still in hospital as his doctors said he needed time to recuperate.
