Nelson Mandela, the former South African president who led the struggle against apartheid, is improving steadily as he extends his two-month hospital stay, according to the office of the presidency.
“Doctors have indicated to President Jacob Zuma that the former president is making a slow but steady improvement,” the president’s office said today in a statement. “The medical team also reiterated that although his health was improving steadily, Madiba still remained in a critical condition,” it said, referring to Mandela’s clan name.
