NELSON Mandela is making "steady progress" while being treated for a recurring lung infection and he had a full breakfast yesterday, South African authorities said.
The office of President Jacob Zuma released a statement in which it said the former president and anti-apartheid leader was in good spirits after being taken late on Wednesday to a hospital in the capital, Pretoria.
"The doctors report that he is making steady progress. He remains under treatment and observation in hospital," the statement said. "We would like to repeat our appeal for the media and the public to respect the privacy of Madiba and his family," it said, using Mandela's clan name, a term of affection.
It is 94-year-old Mandela's third trip to a hospital since December. At that time, he spent three weeks in a hospital in Pretoria, where he was treated for a lung infection and had a procedure to remove gallstones.
