Anti-apartheid hero and former South African president Nelson Mandela was looking comfortable when President Jacob Zuma visited him, the presidency said.
Zuma visited Mandela on Sunday at his home in Houghton, Johannesburg, and ‘found him comfortable and relaxed watching television’, the presidency said in a statement.
‘He had the brightest smile, and it was exciting to discuss with him the upcoming State of the Nation Address and the AFCON (African Cup of Nations) tournament,’ Zuma said in the statement.
Zuma visited Mandela while on his way to the final match of AFCON, reported Xinhua. Zuma conveyed the good wishes to Madiba from all over the world, the presidency said.
Mandela, who was hospitalised for almost three weeks late last year, returned to his Johannesburg home on 26 December after undergoing a surgical operation to remove gallstones and treatment of a recurring lung infection.
