Former South African President Nelson Mandela has been admitted to the hospital in South Africa and his condition is listed as “serious but stable,” according to a presidential spokesperson.
As previously reported by NewsOne, Mandela, 94, has been battling a recurring lung infection, but his condition deteriorated rapidly Saturday. Mandela, affectionately called Madiba, is able to “breathe on his own,” according to spokesperson Mac Maharaj.
