Nelson Mandela Is 'responding To Treatment' by mukina2: 11:55pm On Jun 12, 2013
Anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela is responding to treatment in hospital, the South African president has said.

Jacob Zuma told parliament on Wednesday that he was happy with the progress being made by the 94-year-old former president after a "difficult few days".

"We urge South Africans and the international community to continue to keep president Mandela and the medical team in their thoughts and prayers," he said.

Mandela was admitted to hospital in Pretoria on Saturday with a recurring lung infection.

It is his fourth hospital stay since December, and there is a growing realisation among South Africa's 53 million people that they will one day have to say goodbye to the father of the "Rainbow Nation" that Mandela tried to forge from the apartheid-era.

His eldest daughter Zenani, who is South Africa's ambassador to Argentina, was seen on Wednesday entering the heavily guarded clinic where only close family members are being allowed.

Zenani as well as the elder statesman's two other daughters, Makaziwe and Zindzi, and his ex-wife Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, have visited him daily this week as have other family members.

His current wife, Graca Machel, called off a trip to London last week to be with her ailing husband.

Meanwhile, well wishers continued to arrive at his home in the Johannesburg suburb of Houghton to leave cards and offer their best wishes.

Why're they always rushing Nelson to the hospital all the time? The man is tired; They should just allow him to die in one peace.

Abdul Adam56: mtsssw heartless angry
What is heartless there? The man never reach to die? Or do you think what he's living now is a life? His bedroom looks like a freakin ICU, he loads his system with drugs and he's in a hospital every other day, the man is suffering and people are still trying to drag what's left of his life just so some oyibo can say 'that's Mandela's relative...' '...his village...his country', all for selfish recognition. Sometimes death is better than life.
