South Africa's President Jacob Zuma has been admitted to hospital for tests following a bout of exhaustion, his office says.
"Doctors are satisfied with his condition," his office said in a statement on Saturday without giving details.
Zuma's spokesman Mac Maharaj told AFP the president has been advised to get some rest, but "there is no cause for concern. It's a case of exhaustion."
On Friday Zuma "was advised to rest following a demanding election and transition program to the new administration," said the presidency.
"It's been a hectic period and there has been a need for some rest," added Maharaj.
