So sad! Former South African leader Nelson Mandela is back in the hospital with a recurring lung infection. Nelson was rushed to the hospital on June 8, when he was declared to be in ”serious but stable condition.”

At some point, Nelson was breathing on his own and had his wife by his side, the South African president’s office, however, with no updates in 48 hours, the office said Mandela’s condition was “unchanged” on Monday morning. legdent

On June 9, South Africans offered prayers at church services.

Nelson’s longtime friend Andrew Mlangeni told South Africa’s Sunday Times that the time may have come for South Africans to say goodbye to their former leader.

“You have been coming to the hospital too many times. Quite clearly you are not well and there is a possibility you might not be well again. Once the family releases him, the people of South Africa will follow. We will say thank you, God, you have given us this man, and we will release him too,” Andrew said.

Sadly, Nelson has been in and out of the hospital for years.

Nelson, who served 27 years in a South African prison under the white-minority apartheid regime, has become increasingly frail recently and has been in and out of the hospital. He spent three weeks in the hospital in December for a lung infection. Then, in March, he was admitted to the hospital for a check-up. In late March, he was hospitalized, when he battled another lung infection.

Let's say a word of prayer for him!
