Former South African leader Nelson Mandela will probably spend Christmas Day in a hospital because his doctors want to be satisfied his health has improved satisfactorily before sending him home, a South African media outlet reported on Sunday.
Presidential spokesman Mac Maharaj said the physicians caring for Mandela had given no indication of an ‘imminent discharge’ from a hospital in Pretoria, the capital, according to IOL, a South African news website. ‘At this stage there is no update on his condition and his doctors have given no indication’ about when Mandela could be discharged, IOL quoted Maharaj as saying on Saturday. IOL is owned by Independent Newspapers, a national group that publishes 15 newspapers.
