NELSON MANDELA UNRESPONSIVE TO TREATMENT

It will be recalled that last week TopAfric.com carried a story on it website asking whether Former President Nelson Mandela is dead?

Fresh confirmed information available to this website indicates that Nelson Mandela is unresponsive and his immediate family is now discussing whether to withdraw treatment, it has been claimed.

Nelson Mandela who is 94-year-old has been in hospital for two weeks battling a recurring lung infection, but previous statements from current South African government have indicated that Mr Mandela's health is improving.

According to our source, Mr Mandela's liver and kidney functions are down to less than 50 per cent and he has not opened his eyes for days. Also our information is that he had two procedures, one to repair a bleeding ulcer and another to insert a tube into his body, TopAfric.com had learnt from our source.

This information indicates that Mr Mandela's situation is much more much more serious than has been reported by South African authorities.

Former President Nelson Mandela, who turns 95 next month, is being treated at a Pretoria hospital for a recurring lung infection.

According to CBS News, Mr Mandela went into cardiac arrest the night he was taken to Pretoria Hospital and had to be resuscitated. As Mr Mandela was driven to the hospital the ambulance suffered an engine failure and was forced to wait for over 40 minutes for a replacement.

The hospital stay is his fourth since December and there is a growing realization among South Africa's 53 million people that they will one day have to say goodbye to the father of the 'Rainbow Nation' that Mandela tried to forge from the ashes of apartheid.

More inside stories coming soon from Pretorial hospital about South Africa and the world Hero Nelson Mandela.
