----------------------------------------------------------


 
Former South African President Nelson Mandela remains in critical
condition in the hospital where he is suffering from a recurrent lung

Mandla Mandela: "We've been grateful to South Africans and people of the
global community who have showered the family with prayers and we are
hoping that my grandfather will recover steadily. He is under good care,
under the supervision of nurses and doctors which we have been grateful
for their efforts in ensuring that they are at his bedside and attending
to him."
