morning from Pretoria’s
Mediclinic Heart Hospital
comes a day after confusion
in the Mandela family over
whether the 95-year-old
former president had in fact
been sent home.
Mr Mandela, whose condition is described as “critical" and
"at times unstable," was admitted to hospital June 8
suffering from a recurring lung infection.
His home in the upscale Houghton neighbourhood of
Johannesburg, already fitted with a hospital-like clinic,
has been reconfigured to allow him to receive intensive
care there, according to the statement issued by South
African President Jacob Zuma’s spokesman.
Mr Mandela’s doctors “are convinced that he will receive
the same level of intensive care at his Houghton home that
he received in Pretoria.” “If there are health conditions
that warrant another admission to hospital in future, this
will be done,” the statement said.
