In an exclusive interview with CNN international anchor and correspondent Robyn Curnow, Nelson Mandela's daughter Makaziwe tells of her family's prayers for her critically ill father
Ailing democracy icon Nelson Mandela's was "very critical" and "anything is imminent", the anti-apartheid leader's eldest daughter said, as South African President Jacob Zuma on Thursday cancelled a trip to Mozambique.
A day after Nelson Mandela's daughter lashed out at the "crass" media frenzy around her ailing father, the South African police on Friday asked journalists to leave the road outside the entrance to the Pretoria hospital, where the global peace icon remains on life support.
Anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela is continuing to put up a courageous fight from his "deathbed" even though he is "not doing well", the former South African President's family has said.
Ailing Nelson Mandela "cannot let go" his spirit because he is deeply troubled by the on-going feuding in the family, according to elders of the clan that the former South Africa president belongs to. The weekly Sunday Times on Sunday reported this quoting a submission in support of an urgent application in the Mthatha high court to have the remains of three of Mandela's children -- Makgatho, Thembekile and Makaziwe (a daughter who died at nine months) -- moved from Mvezo back to Qunu.
