So it was not a routing check up, he is actually ill? So Presidency lied to us. This lung infection is due to long prison sentence he and other enjoyed, remember they were drilling and breaking stones, they worked hard in prison and they never received R20 000 after realise to start afresh, they got out empty handed, but carying lung cancers Report Abuse

Many people get lung infections, especially the elderly. In fact with over 1 in 3 with AIDS, you could say a substantial number of us have lung infections. But I hear what you say. Report Abuse

The name mandela says it all , hero, freedom fighter etc but at the age of 90's i think the old men's health is deteriorating Report Abuse
We must allow the old man go now, ladies and gentlemen. Does he really deserve to feel all this pain?
I know it is hard, but sometimes we must just let go and stop praying too hard.
He has done his job and we always be proud of him. Report Abuse
