Nelson Mandela remains in critical condition

President Jacob Zuma visited Mr Mandela’s doctors and wife Graca Machel, and said that the former president’s health had deteriorated over the past 24 hours.
He said his doctors were still “doing everything possible” to try to improve his situation.
The announcement late on Sunday night was the first time the 94-year-old former president’s condition has been described so seriously since he was admitted to hospital on June 8 for a recurring lung infection.

His condition had previously been described as “serious but stable condition”. Comments last week from Mandela family members and his presidential successor, Thabo Mbeki, had suggested Mr Mandela’s health was improving.
However, the announcement of the downturn sparked deep concern among South Africans that the end could be drawing near for the country’s first black president, who led the country from apartheid to democracy 20 years ago.

Praying that the good Lord will take control.
