Nelson Mandela is in a critical condition in hospital, officials said on Sunday, leaving millions of South Africans fearing the worst.
The 94-year-old former president has been hospitalised four times since December but this is by far the gravest report on his health.
Mandela was taken to a hospital in Pretoria just over two weeks ago with a recurring lung infection but was said to have rallied after a few days.

May God be with Mandella and his family.
leaving millions of South Africans fearing the worst, its funny how the reporters phase it… he is of age and he’s heading out of this world shortly.. may god be with him
Mandela is a Knight of Malta
@ Voice_Of_The_Poor u mean he was a soldier to the jesuit order, where did u hear that?
Looks like Madiba is getting ready to kick the bucket and President Zuma is preparing the population for the inevitable bad news.
I fear that there will be turmoil, further divisions and civil strife in South Africa once Madiba is gone. It seems that many South Africans are not happy but have been holding back out of respect for Madiba.
Once he is no more then we really don’t know what will happen.
let the man die in peace he has done his time he has changed a nation let him move on in peace he at least deserve that much respect
Nay not just a Nation I dare to say the World!
He goesdown in my History book asthe most Civilized Man of the millenium,I am talking about His reconciliation style instead of retaliation,His stepping down from the Presidency instead of holding on to power.Definitely not like the Kadaffis and Mugabies who liberate the People but become worse than the Colonizer.
May that eternal Spiritual Being that inhabited that Mortal body we came to know as Nelson Mandela rise to the Spiritual Abode of the Supreme God and continue to exist there eternally in His association away from this temporay place of Birth ,Old Age ,Desease and Death
Nelson Mandela is one of my heroes. These are the people that i look up to. People who have sacrificed do that change can come about. Mr. Mandela, you have secured your place in history. Your courage, your bravery, your determination to repeal the apartheid laws, you struggled, yet you never gave up. You kept hope alive, in the end, you became President. What a great man! Let the Almighty will be done! You were a chosen one and so Almighty will take care of you. I thank you for your contribution
The struggle goes on, but we’ve come a long way, baby. Free the people. The Isreali Government has for many years now, briging their people from all parts of Europe and other parts of the world where they have been scattered. Black people need such Exodus back to our homeland Africa. I would jump on the first plane/ship.
That would be a huge blow to the white people globally – to see all black people re-unite in our homeland AFRICA. That’s where we belong. I still feel like a stranger living out of Africa. Don’t you???
No I am quite Comfortable being a Dominican with multiple racial inheritance.African,Kalinago,Scottish,French and whatever else I may not be aware of .
If You feel so strong about it I am sure You can find an African Country tha tYou can migrate too.Dont wait till boatloadsare going get there before them so You can be part of the welcoming comitee!
By Allah if I had taken the reigns of government in South Africa in Mandela time I would send every single white person back to Holland (every man, woman, child) where they came from for the misery they put South Africans through and what they continue to suffer today.
Today South Africans are in a worst condition, they are a broken people, many women don’t love who they are; they hate being “black” so they bleach their skins out of that self hate. It’s so sad, the men have been destroyed, the self hate and having no knowledge of self. Look at the crimes they commit, the same thing in America. In my view where there is this white supremacist rule nothing good comes out for black people and this is a fact.
That is why You are not Great !You are thinking retaliation and what good would it do ? What would Your vengeance make You into?
“I have walked that long road to freedom. I have tried not to falter;
I have made missteps along the way. But I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can only rest for a moment, for with freedom come responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not ended.”
Nelson the Great Mandella!
Black Supremacist rule has not brought anything good for the People under it .Just another extreme form of Government that has no checks and balances
no offence. mr Mandella has done well. He is 94 years with a long infection,the body can’t take all that stress especially in his age and all that he went through the 25 years he spent in jail. Please let the man leave in peace and stop stress the process.
Best wishes to Mr.Nelson Mandela, you endured a lot at the hands of evil. Equally best wishes to Winnie Mandela, you endured a lot at the hands of that apathied Beast and brought it down for Nelson, and 25 million of your people. We shall NEVER forget Winnie. Respect to you both!
May the good lord continue to bless you, you have lived a good life and fought a good fight
Africa for the Africans. Jah!
I CANNOT CRY FOR HIM, HE WILL LIVE ON EVEN AFTER DEATH, LONG LIVE HERO
God guidance he has made am example for not just south. Africa. But the world. Lord bless this man
Respect to the highest power
The LION OF AFRICA may not win this battle but he has won an even greater challenge in conquering the hearts of Mankind. The world is a better place thanks to his leadership and foresight. Dominica salutes his highness Mandella. I hope a street is named in his Honor.

If you dont wish to seem to be direspectful choose your words wisely when referring to this great man.
i don’t understand why some ignorant people sees a comment that’s true and gives a down thump, the man is of age… its his time to go… it’s not an opinion it’s a fact
Still it’s not our call.
why are they ignorant – maybe they just dont agree with your point of view .
Well.
Good morning. I agree. You didn’t say anything disrespectful about Mr Mandela our people have problems with calling thing like it is.
