30 December, 2011 – Former President Nelson Mandela is in good health, good spirits and enjoying the festive season at his home in Qunu.
The Presidency has received calls from the media enquiring about Madiba’s health. It appears that an end of year review done by a media house may have unfortunately triggered a rumour of ill-health.
On behalf of the government and the people of South Africa, President Jacob Zuma wishes Madiba a very happy and successful 2012.
