Mandela in serious condition at hospital

South Africa's ex-President Nelson Mandela remains in a serious but stable condition in a Pretoria hospital, according to the latest update. The presidency said Mandela's condition was unchanged and confirmed that he was in intensive care. His former wife, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, visited him on Monday. Mandela was admitted to hospital early on Saturday for the third time this year and he is being treated for a lung infection. The government said in a statement: "President Jacob Zuma reiterates his call for South Africa to pray for Madiba and the family during this time." Madiba is Mr Mandela's clan name.
