Nelson Mandela is 'fine' according to ex-wife Winnie Madikizela-Mandela
Ailing peace icon Nelson Mandela, who is receiving treatment at home after spending nearly three months in hospital, is "fine", his ex-wife Winnie Madikizela-Mandela has said.
"He is fine, the spirits of Africa, his ancestors, our ancestors are
keeping him for all of us," Mrs Madikizela-Mandela told SABC public
broadcaster in South
Africa.
Mr Mandela is receiving intensive care for a respiratory illness at his
Johannesburg home where he returned after being discharged on September 1.
He had spent 86 days in a Pretoria hospital.
The 95-year-old's condition was described as critical but stable throughout
his stay.
In recent weeks, updates about Mr Mandela's health have appeared more
positive, with his grandson saying last month that he was sitting up on his
bed, doing "much better" and was not completely bed-ridden.
