ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule has also taken to Twitter to express well-wishes for Zuma, coining the hash tag #ZumaDay.
The social media platform has been filled with messages of support from Zuma loyalists, who have called him a "true leader" despite the many allegations of his involvement in state capture.
