Former president Nelson Mandela’s eldest daughter Zenani Mandela-Dlamini arrived at the Pretoria hospital on Wednesday where the elderly statesman is believed to be receiving treatment.<\/p>\n

Her black Mercedes-Benz entered the Medi-Clinic Heart Hospital before 11am. She stopped briefly and talked to police officers at the entrance on Park Street in Arcadia.<\/p>\n

Mandela-Dlamini, who is South Africa’s ambassador to Argentina, arrived home this week following her father’s admission. The ailing icon was spending his fifth day in hospital.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, the presidency announced that Mandela had been admitted to hospital in the early hours of the morning and was in a “serious but stable” condition. His condition has remained unchanged since then.<\/p>\n

The presidency said on Tuesday that the doctors treating Mandela gave President Jacob Zuma a thorough briefing on Monday night.<\/p>\n

“President Zuma has full confidence in the medical team, and is satisfied that they are doing their best to make Madiba better,” spokesman Mac Maharaj said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Mandela was still in a “serious but stable” condition. Police had taken over security at the hospital. Seven officers were guarding the facility’s entrance. Pedestrians’ bags and vehicles entering the premises were searched.<\/p>\n

Local and international media continued to hold vigil outside the hospital and Mandela’s Houghton, Johannesburg, home.<\/p>\n

This is the third time this year the Nobel Peace Prize laureate has been hospitalised.<\/p>\n

At the end of March and in April he spent nine days in hospital receiving treatment for recurring lung problems. Earlier in March, he was admitted to a Pretoria hospital for a scheduled check-up and was discharged the following day. – Sapa<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
