BreakingNews: #S. Africa Government Denies Mandela Discharged# South Africa’s presidency on Saturday denied reports that Nelson Mandela had been discharged from hospital and had returned to his Johannesburg home. “Madiba is still in hospital in Pretoria, and remains in a critical but stable condition,” President Jacob Zuma’s spokesman said in a statement, denying reports from several news organisations that he had left the facility. “At times his condition becomes unstable, but he responds to medical interventions.” During Mandela’s 80-plus days in hospital, the presidency through Maharaj has been the official source of information about the condition of the 95-year-old anti-apartheid icon. But updates have been infrequent and have offered few details, prompting frequent speculation. At the end of July, Zuma’s office said Mandela was continuing to show signs of improvement after scares were reported.
