Mandela back in hospital

Former South African president Nelson Mandela has been readmitted to
hospital with a recurrent lung infection, the presidency said
Thursday, urging people to pray for the frail anti-apartheid hero.

The 94-year-old, who has had several
recent health scares, was hospitalised "due to the recurrence of his
lung infection" just before midnight on Wednesday, President Jacob
Zuma's office said in a statement.

It marks the second time this month that the Nobel peace laureate has
spent the night in hospital and follows a nearly three-week stay in
December for the lung infection and for gallstones surgery, after
which he was released for home-based care.

We pray he gets well soon.
