The South African government won’t disclose the location of former President Nelson Mandela, 94, who remains hospitalized for a lung infection, the Associated Press reported Friday:
Mandela, admitted Saturday to a hospital, was thought to have been at 1 Military Hospital near Pretoria after Defense Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula said she visited the leader there Monday. But when local media reported that Mandela wasn’t at that hospital Thursday night, presidential spokesman Mac Maharaj refused to give the whereabouts of the ailing politician.
