Pravin Gordhan has been admitted to hospital, his family said in a statement on Tuesday evening.

“Mr Gordhan is receiving the best available medical care. The family has requested privacy during this difficult time.

“Further updates will be provided,” the statement reads.

Gordhan, the former public enterprises minister and a struggle stalwart, announced his retirement from politics in May.

He has occupied strategic positions in the government since the 1994 transition to democracy.
