Former President Nelson Mandela’s condition remains serious but stable on Monday, his third day in a Pretoria hospital, the South African government said.
“His condition is unchanged,” the office of President Jacob Zuma said in a brief statement.
Mandela, who is 94 years old, was taken to a hospital early Saturday to be treated for a recurring lung infection. At that time, Zuma’s office described the anti-apartheid leader’s condition as “serious but stable.”
On Sunday, members of Mandela’s family were seen visiting the hospital where the anti-apartheid leader and Nobel Peace Prize laureate is believed to be staying.
Mandela, also known by his clan name Madiba, has been hospitalized several times in recent months. During a hospital stay that ended April 6, doctors diagnosed him with pneumonia and drained fluid from his chest.
“President Jacob Zuma reiterates his call for South Africa to pray for Madiba and the family during this time,” the presidential statement said.
