Mashatile collapsed while addressing a gathering commemorating the inauguration of a local traditional leader in Tzaneen, Limpopo province, 412km (256 miles) north east of Johannensburg.

Limpopo's provincial premier Phophi Ramathuba, a medical doctor, noted Mashatile was not in danger, having struggled with the heat towards the end of his speech.

"The deputy president is fine, he is with his medical team. I was with them, he's ok and there's no need to worry," Ramathuba said.
