The claims spread online after the BRICS Summit.
Reporting also noted that Cyril Ramaphosa withdrew from public engagements to rest after returning from India.
The South African Presidency said that rest was on medical advice.
Unverified online claims also alleged that Xi Jinping left early for medical reasons.
The available reporting says those claims remain unsubstantiated by official authorities.

What remains uncertain is whether any of the online allegations about other leaders will gain official backing, since the available reporting says they are unsubstantiated. The connection, if any, between the summit and the reported withdrawals has not been established.
