President Jacob Zuma visited former president Nelson Mandela at his home in Qunu, in the Eastern Cape, on Wednesday - ahead of his 94th birthday.
“It was a delight to see him as always. I was particularly happy that I had an opportunity to give him good wishes for his upcoming birthday,” Zuma said in a statement, which was issued by the presidency.
“I also informed him that, as usual, all South Africans are waiting for the 18th [of July], preparing to wish him a happy birthday in every possible way.”
Zuma had lunch with Mandela and found him to be in good health, the presidency said.

Good. Winnie Madikizela humiliated Mandela family by cheating until the former president separated. ANC invited Tthe mandela family to attend the event in THohoyandou and Graca Mashele Mandela the formal wife of Mandela attended with . Mandela 's children also gave a speach there.Report Abuse

Zuma has done well for visiting the old man because of the Mandela bridge launch and his birthday . It is not using him. Actually Winnie was politically barried by Thabo Mbeki and ZUMA resurected her. She was never honest, even to Nelson mandela leding to the separation. Anyone believing her believes in Toky Sekgwale who bought her a Top of the range BMW previously. Don't be fooled.Report Abuse
