Nelson Mandela Spends The Night In Hospital
South Africa’s presidency says Nelson Mandela has spent a night in the hospital after he was admitted for tests.
Presidential spokesman Mac Maharaj said Sunday there were no updates
on 94-year-old Mandela’s condition since he went to a hospital in
Pretoria on Saturday afternoon. “There isn’t an update. I just have to
allow the doctors to advise me,” Maharaj said.
In a statement Saturday, Maharaj said the medical tests for the
anti-apartheid leader and former president were scheduled and that
doctors have indicated there is no cause for “alarm.”
Mandela was hospitalized for nearly three weeks in December before
going home on Dec. 26. At that time, he was treated for a lung infection
and had a surgical procedure to remove gallstones.
However, this time around, they did not divulge at which Pretoria hospital Mandela was staying.
