‘Mandela is fine’ – Graca Machel
The BBC reported that although Nelson Mandela may be uncomfortable and very few times in pain, he is fine. His wife, Graca Machel, was reported to have said: “Although Madiba may be uncomfortable, very few times her in pain, he is fine”. She was speaking during a fundraising drive for a children’s hospital that will be named after the political icon, Nelson Mandela, who is now 94. Mandela was previously reported to be in a critical condition, kept alive by a breathing machine and faces “impending death”. In court documents submitted by his family, his health was described as perilous, saying he is “basically gone”.
