Nelson Mandela spent a second night in critical condition in hospital on Monday night, with his family members, compatriots and well-wishers worldwide fearing that the anti-apartheid icon is about to lose his final struggle.
A few vehicles were seen early on Tuesday entering and exiting the Pretoria hospital where the former president is being treated, but otherwise the scene was quiet except for the now normal gaggle of journalists.
On Monday, President Jacob Zuma said that “former president Mandela remains in a critical condition in hospital.”
“The doctors are doing everything possible to ensure his well-being and comfort,” Zuma added.
Mandela was rushed to hospital on 8 June with a recurring lung infection.
Despite intensive treatment at Pretoria’s Mediclinic Heart Hospital, the 94-year-old’s condition appears to have suddenly and dramatically deteriorated in recent days.
Visitors
Ex-wife Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, daughters Zindzi Mandela-Motlhajwa and Zenani Mandela-Dlamini and scores of officials flocked to the hospital on Monday.
The family visits, while common since Mandela was admitted 17 days ago, come amid heightened fears for the former statesman’s health.
Mandela’s eldest daughter Makaziwe has said her father appears to be at peace with himself.
“He has given so much to the world. I believe he is at peace.”
At the same time she complained about the “media frenzy” over her father’s condition.
“Whether these are the last moments with us, to be with our dad, or there is still a longer (time), but they (media) must back off,” she told CNN.
