Nkosi Zwelivelile Mandela accompanied by other members of the Mandela family visited Nkosi Dalibhunga Nelson Mandela in hospital on Monday.
Though it is a difficult period for the Mandela family, Nkosi Zwelivelile and the rest of the family have been heartened by the overwhelming messages of support from the public. For the past few days since Madiba was admitted to hospital, the family has been deeply touched by the outpour of prayers and the overwhelming messages of goodwill from all South Africans and the international community. says Nkosi Mandela
The family is satisfied with the care that Madiba is receiving and share the hope of everyone for Madiba’s recovery. We are fully cognisant of the fact that millions of people in the country and around the world regard Madiba as their parent and therefore are as much concerned about his well-being as we are.
The family would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the South African government, the African National Congress (ANC) and the doctors in charge of Madiba’s health during this period. says Nkosi Mandela.
The family is also happy with the sterling work by the Presidency in keeping the public updated about Madiba’s health.
Issued by Nkosi Zwelivelile Mandela, on behalf of the Mandela Family.
