Security expands at hospital where Mandela is treated

Police increased security at the hospital where Nelson Mandela remains in intensive care. The former South African politician was rushed there with a lung infection on Saturday. Gates and fences were erected by police around the hospital on Tuesday.

Mandela remains at the hospital in Pretoria, South Africa, where he is in stable condition. The South African government announced Mandela’s condition hasn’t changed. President Jacob Zuma said after visiting Mandela, “Yesterday I met the team of doctors who are treating him. They gave me a very thorough briefing and really I was very confident that they know what they are doing and they are doing a good job. Whilst it is very serious, he is stabilized. And we are all praying for him to recuperate quickly.”
