Defence and Military Veterans Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula visited former president Nelson Mandela at the Pretoria hospital where he remains in a critical condition.
Mapisa-Nqakula stayed for 40 minutes at the hospital.
United Democratic Movement leader Bantu Holomisa was also seen arriving, in a BMW X5.
Mandela’s daughter Zenani was earlier spotted arriving in a black Mercedes Benz that pulled up shortly before 10:30 at the Park Street entrance of the Medi-Clinic Heart Hospital, where police officers were manning the gates.
After a brief stop, the officers let her car through without a thorough search.
The officers searched all vehicles entering the hospital premises, with more officers inside the facility.
Some passing cars slowed down so that passengers could take pictures of the large media contingent stationed outside the facility.
