Mandela update: Still critical

Former South African President Nelson Mandela remains in a critical condition in hospital, according to President Zuma. Mr Zuma was not able to reveal any more medical details but did say that the doctors are doing everything to make Mr Mandela more comfortable. “All of us in the country should accept the fact that Madiba [Nelson Mandela’s clan name] is now old. As he ages, his health will...trouble him and I think what we need to do as a country is to pray for him,” Mr Zuma said on Monday. The 94-year-old statesman is spending his 17th day in hospital with a recurring lung infection and hopes of a recovery are ebbing.
