Contrary to reports that surfaced on the internet yesterday,
South African revolutionary leader who was the President of
South Africa between 1994 to 1999, Nelson Mandela is not dead. The 94 year old was taken to
Heart Clinic in
Pretoria at about 1:30am on Saturday for the fourth time in recent times after his health condition deteriorated but he is in a 'serious but stable' condition.
A parody account which is not associated to the controversial
British Tv personality, Piers Morgan reportedly posted the Nelson Mandela death hoax on social networks stating that Madiba as he is fondly called died in his sleep. Piers Morgan has implored Twitter to track down the fake account 'Piersrnorgan' and shut it down to avoid future occurences.
Mandela who will celebrate his 95th birthday on July 18th next month by God's grace was first diagnosed with tuberculosis in 1988 and has had treatments for prostate cancer. In December, Mandela spent 18 days in hospital, that was regarded as his longest time in a hospital. Also in March, he was admitted for an overnight scheduled medical check up but ended up spending 10 days in the hospital, he was also treated for pneumonia in April.
