JOHANNESBURG, Dec 5 (Reuters) - South African President Jacob Zuma will address the nation shortly on an "important national matter", the E-News television channel said on Thursday.
The channel provided no details, although the announcement followed heightened activity outside the home of 95-year-old former President Nelson Mandela, who has been critically ill with a lung infection for five months. (Reporting by Ed Cropley; Editing by Janet Lawrence)
