Nelson Mandela continues to recover
Nelson Mandela continues to recover from a lung infection but his condition is still serious, the South African government has said, the Sky News reports.
President Jacob Zuma visited the country's 94-year-old former leader on Thursday evening at the Pretoria hospital where he has been receiving treatment since Saturday.
South Africans and millions around the world have been waiting for news about the condition of the anti-apartheid hero, who is affectionately known by his clan name Madiba.
There are growing fears that after a number of recent health scares, the frail statesman may be nearing the end of his life.
Mr Mandela has been plagued by lung problems since suffering with tuberculosis while serving 27 years in prison.
