Prayers was said in churches on Sunday across South Africa for former
President Nelson Mandela, who is spending a second day in hospital for
treatment for a lung infection.
The presidency has so far provided no update on his condition although further details are expected later.
His condition on Saturday was described as serious but stable.
Mr. Mandela, 94, had been ill for some days before being taken to a Pretoria hospital early on Saturday.
It is the third time this year he has been admitted to hospital.
Hundreds of worshipers attended Mass on Sunday at Soweto’s Regina
Mundi church, famous for its role in the anti-apartheid campaign.
“I think it’s just a natural experience that everybody wants to hold
on to him as much as possible,” acting priest Father Sebastian Rossouw
said.
