Pretoria – Madiba's health continues to improve but his condition remains serious, says President Jacob Zuma.
President Zuma accompanied by ANC Treasurer-General Dr Zweli Mkhize visited former President Nelson Mandela at a Pretoria hospital on Thursday.
"We continue to appeal to people to keep Madiba in their prayers and wish him a speedy recovery," said President Zuma.
The attention of the country and the world once again shifted to Madiba’s health when he was taken to hospital in the early hours of Saturday morning with a recurring lung infection.
Since the former President – who turns 95 next month – was hospitalised, the Presidency said in updates on his health that he was in a serious but stable condition, and restricted visits to close family and relatives because he was in intensive care.
Local and international media houses have been camping outside Mandela’s home in Houghton while some have been stationed outside the hospital.
Well wishes from around the globe are pouring in for the former President who is being treated at a Pretoria Hospital. – SAnews.gov.za
