DEZAMN I hope Mandela makes a full and speedy recovery…

“Former South African President Nelson Mandela is recovering from a collapsed lung and could be released from hospital as early as Friday, a source close to Mandela told Reuters on Thursday.

The 92-year-old anti-apartheid icon was admitted to a Johannesburg hospital on Wednesday for what his foundation described as routine tests.

“Mandela was treated by military doctors and should be discharged tomorrow,” the source said, asking not to be named, Reuters reported.

Mandela undergoes regular hospital checkups, but his latest visit stretched into an unusually long stay and drew extraordinary media attention. Journalists were standing outside the hospital Thursday, watching Mandela’s relatives and friends enter for visits.

“President Mandela is comfortable and is well looked after by a good team of medical specialists,” Zuma said in a statement. The ANC said there was no reason to panic.

“He is a 92-year-old and will have ailments associated with his age, and the fact that he stayed the night should not suggest the worst,” ANC spokesman Jackson Mthembu said.”  source

Mandela has definitely lived a long and rough life wishing him nothing but the best! We want him to live til he is 100!
