Zuma cancels foreign trip to visit Mandela
South African President Jacob Zuma has visited a gravely ill Nelson Mandela in hospital, and has decided to cancel a visit to Mozambique today.
A statement from his office said Mr Zuma went to see the 94-year-old anti-apartheid leader yesterday evening and found him to still be in a critical condition.
The statement says Mr Zuma was briefed by the doctors who are treating the former leader, who was taken to a Pretoria hospital on June 8 with what the government said was a recurring lung infection.
It says Mr Zuma decided to call off a one-day trip to Mozambique for a meeting on regional investment.
