Nelson Mandela In Critical Condition

The South African presidency says the health condition of Nelson
Mandela hasbecome critical.
Zuma says in a statement that the doctors are "doing everything
possible to get his condition to improve."The office of President
Jacob Zuma said thatthe president had visited the 94-year-old
anti-apartheid leader on Sunday evening, and was informed by the
medical team that Mandela's condition had become critical in the past
24 hours.
Mandela, who became South Africa's first black president after the end
of apartheid in 1994, was hospitalised on June 8 for what the
government said was a recurring lung infection.
A day earlier, the anti-apartheid icon's grandson, his grandson Mandla
Mandela, said his grandfather was getting better and was expected to
be discharged from hospital soon.
When he was first taken to hospital in early June, reports said the
ambulance carrying Mandela had broken down.
Zuma said that in that incident, "all carewas taken to ensure that his
medical condition was not compromised."
He also dismissed media reports that Mandela had suffered a heart attack.
