Nelson Mandela in hospital to undergo tests
Nelson Mandela, South Africa’s former leader, has been admitted to hospital in the capital Pretoria to undergo tests, officials say.
The office of President Jacob Zuma said 94-year-old Nelson Mandela was doing well and there was “no cause for alarm”.
Nelson Mandela spent more than two decades in jail under the white minority apartheid regime.
He served as South Africa’s first black president between 1994 and 1999, and received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993.
