Mandela’s health condition remains serious, although he’s stable

After his fourth day in a hospital in Pretoria, the former South African president, Nelson Mandela is still in serious condition due to a severe pneumonia, and is “receiving intensive care.”

As happened with previous hospitalizations, it was not released the name of the establishment of Pretoria where he is hospitalized since last Saturday. This is his fourth hospitalization since December.

However, dozens of journalists camped in a specialized hospital in the capital where presumably he entered. They said Mandela’s daughters and several grandchildren were seen there on Sunday. In addition, his ex-wife Winnie Madikizela-Mandela went to the health center on Monday afternoon, according to an AFP photographer. However, the police asked reporters to leave the area at night.
