The Presidency has noted media reports about the condition of former President Nelson Mandela and would like to make a clarification.
Former President Mandela has been and remains under the care of a multi-disciplinary panel of South African medical experts drawn from the
South Africa Military Health Services, the public sector, the universities and the private sector.
Under this panel a team of doctors, nurses, paramedics and other health professionals attend to Madiba on a 24 hour basis.
We confirm our earlier statement released this afternoon after President Jacob Zuma visited Madiba in hospital that Madiba remains in a
critical, but stable condition.
The doctors deny that the former President is unresponsive.
