African Hero Nelson Mandela "Mandiba" on life support

FORMER South African President Nelson Mandela was placed on life support in a Pretoria hospital late on Wednesday, an official who had been briefed of his condition, said.

Tribal leaders have already been told to prepare for his death as he remains in hospital on life support. Mandela remains in critical condition and it has been confirmed that he is no longer able to breathe unassisted.

In the Eastern Cape, where Mandela will be buried, a member of the tribal authority confirmed that the clan had been told that he is extremely ill and although it is against Xhosa tradition to discuss the death of a living person, they have begun to prepare for the worst.
