Mandela still in critical but stable condition 2 months on

Nelson Mandela remains in a critical but stable condition, South African President Jacob Zuma said, more than two months after the anti-apartheid hero was hospitalised with a recurring lung infection.

“Former president Mandela is still in hospital receiving treatment and remains in a critical but stable condition,” Zuma said.

Mandela, 95, has been receiving treatment for a recurring respiratory illness at a private hospital in the capital Pretoria since June 8.
