Former South African President Nelson Mandela remained in a Pretoria hospital for a third day for treatment of a lung infection after being admitted for a fourth time since December.
“Former President Nelson Mandela remains in hospital, and his condition is unchanged,” the Presidency said in an e-mail. The statement was the first official comment on Mandela’s health since June 8, when President Jacob Zuma’s office said his condition was “serious but stable.”
