Concern continues to mount over health of former president Nelson Mandela

Two of ailing former president Nelson Mandela's daughters have arrived at the Medi-Clinic Heart Hospital in Pretoria.

Makaziwe Mandela's red Range Rover drove past numerous police officers deployed at the hospital's entrance.
Her car was followed by that of Zenani Mandela, the South African ambassador to Argentina. Unlike other cars entering the hospital, their vehicles were not searched.

Police are stationed outside the hospital, in the Pretoria suburb of Arcadia and security at the facility had been tightened, with police officers manning the two entrances.

Presidential Spokesman Mack Maharaj says President Jacob Zuma has full confidence in the medical team and is satisfied that they are doing their best to make Madiba better.

Zuma is currently in Cape Town preparing for the Budget Vote of the Presidency.
