Nelson Mandela is “fine” and improving after more than a week in hospital, his wife has said in the latest positive update on the 94-year-old icon’s pneumonia treatment.
“Madiba is fine, Madiba is getting better and better,” the private eNCA news channel quoted Graca Machel as saying, referring to Mandela’s clan name.
“He is in hospital simply because the doctors want to be absolutely sure that he is strong enough to go home and nothing is going to recur,” she said late Thursday.
Her comments marked the latest upbeat update on the country’s first black president, who was hospitalised shortly before midnight on March 27.
The admission was his third hospital stint since December.
