Mandela, who became South Africa's first black president in 1994, is due to celebrate his 95th birthday on July 18. He has been hospitalised four times since December, mostly for the pulmonary condition that has plagued him for years.
Madiba, as he is affectionately known, is revered among most of South Africa's 53 million people as the architect of the/s1994 transition to multi-racial democracy after three centuries of white domination.
