                     South Africa's Mandela Recovering Well

   by VOA News

   A grandson of former South African President Nelson Mandela says the
   anti-apartheid icon is recovering well from a lung infection.
   The grandson says the 94-year-old former leader looks good.
   He commented Saturday after visiting Mr. Mandela who is spending an
   eighth day in a Pretoria hospital.
   Well-wishers have been leaving balloons and posters outside the
   facility.
   On Friday, schoolchildren gathered near the hospital, sang and wished
   Mr. Mandela a speedy recovery.
   This is the fourth time Mr. Mandela has been hospitalized for lung
   infections since December.
   He has a history of lung problems dating back to the tuberculosis he
   contracted during his 27-year imprisonment under South Africa's
   apartheid system.
   He was released in 1990, and four years later was elected president in
   the country's first democratic polls.
