Mandela making 鈥榮teady鈥 progress
Print Edition
Nelson Mandela is making “slow but steady” progress back to health, although he remains critically ill, the office of the South African president said yesterday.
The 95-year-old former president and anti-apartheid icon has been in hospital for over two months with a recurring lung infection.
“Former President Nelson Mandela continues to receive treatment in hospital in Pretoria and doctors have indicated to President Jacob Zuma that the former president is making a slow but steady improvement,” a statement said.
“The medical team also reiterated that although his health was improving steadily, Madiba still remained in a critical condition,” it added, referring to Mandela by his clan name.
Zuma asked South Africans to pray for Mandela’s recovery and good health.
The South African president is technically the only person authorised to give public updates about Mandela’s health, and had not issued a statement since July 31.
Mandela’s youngest daughter Zindzi said on Friday that he was “not going anywhere anytime soon”.
