The South African government
Saturday refuted media reports
that former president Nelson
Mandela has been discharged from hospital.
"Madiba (Mandela's clan name)
is still in hospital in Pretoria,
and remains in a critical but stable condition," Xinhua quoted presidential spokesman Mac Maharaj as saying.
"The presidency has noted incorrect media reports that former president Nelson Mandela has been discharged from hospital," Maharaj said.
"At times his condition becomes
unstable, but he responds to medical interventions," said Maharaj.
Since Mandela was rushed to a
Pretoria hospital June 8 for a
recurring lung infection, the
presidency has declared his
condition as critical but stable.
Last Saturday, presidential
spokesman Maharaj said Mandela, 95, was in an unstable condition at times but demonstrated great resilience.
The Nobel Peace Prize laureate has been suffering from a recurring lung infection, which is the result of tuberculosis developed when he was imprisoned during the apartheid period.
