'Forget the rumours -- Mandela is well'
The Nelson Mandela Foundation on Monday dismissed rumours that former president Nelson Mandela was ill.
Former president Nelson Mandela is well, the Nelson Mandela Foundation said on Monday.
“Contrary to current rumours, Mr Mandela is well and is relaxing at home in Johannesburg,” said chief executive Achmat Dangor.
This followed a number of phone calls to the foundation enquiring after the former president’s health.
Dangor said both local and international press representatives had called asking about Mandela’s health.
