Nelson Mandela has become critically ill in hospital, the South African presidency has announced.

President Jacob Zuma said he had visited Mr Mandela and spoken to his wife and medical teams.

Doctors were "doing everything possible to get his condition to improve" said Mr Zuma in a statement.

South Africa's first black president, 94, was taken to hospital in Pretoria earlier this month for the third time this year, with a lung infection.

Mr Zuma said he had been told by doctors on Sunday that the former president's condition had worsened over the past 24 hours.

it's hard to believe mandala is 94 now, golly
it sounds like he's in very good care, though! i hope everything goes well for him, even if it ends up in him passing.
thoughts?
 
We can all learn a lot from him, but at the end of the day everyone dies and as he's basically dying of old age. Not to sound heartless...

The circle of life sucks and he's made a big impact on the world.
 
It's not looking too good.
I hope he'll be okay, but it seems old age has hit him hard.
