He added that he hoped that Mr Mandela would have the “privacy and the
chance to recuperate.”
Mr Mandela last appeared in public at the final of the football World Cup
hosted by South Africa in July 2010.
He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993, a year before he was elected the
country’s first black president in South Africa’s first all-race vote and
served one term before stepping down in 1999.
