Nelson Mandela Still Critical, Family Discusses 'Delicate Matters'
Johannesburg: Anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela's medical condition remains "unchanged" in a critical condition, the South African Presidency said today, as the 94-year-old leader's family met to discuss "delicate matters" relating to him.
Condition of Mandela, who is battling for his life, "remains unchanged in hospital and doctors continue to do their best to ensure his recovery, well-being and comfort," President Jacob Zuma said in a statement.
He also urged that Mandela and his family be "accorded the necessary sensitivity, dignity and privacy at this time".
"We must support him and support his family. We must demonstrate our love and appreciation for his leadership during the struggle for liberation and in our first few years of freedom and democracy by living out his legacy and promoting unity, non-racialism, non-sexism and prosperity in our country," said Zuma.
The family gathering at Qunu in the Eastern Cape, where the revered statesman spent his childhood, came two days after Zuma gave the strongest indication yet that all is not well with the elder statesman.
