Former President Nelson Mandela is in a "serious but stable" condition after being admitted to a Pretoria hospital early on Satruday morning due to a recurring lung infection.
Presidential spokesman Mac Maharaj says this morning at about 1.30am his condition deteriorated and he was transferred to a Pretoria hospital.
Maharaj said doctors were doing everything they could to make
Mandela "better and comfortable".
On the 6th of April, Mandela was discharged from hospital after spending nine days receiving treatment for recurring lung problems.
The 94 year-old Nobel Peace Prize laureate has suffered lung ailments before.
Mandela's last major public appearance was in July 2010, at the final of the Fifa World Cup at Soccer City stadium in Johannesburg.
Since then he has spent his time between his Houghton home in Johannesburg and his ancestral village of Qunu in the Eastern Cape.
