Authorities have confirmed that Nelson Mandela has been taken off his life support machine, adding fuel to the speculation that he had died. Because of this, the rumor has been spreading that Nelson Mandela died last night and that the government and his family have “kept a lid” on the news because of American President Obama’s upcoming trip to South Africa. Obviously, the president’s visit will be overshadowed by the announcement of the Nobel Prize winning Mandela.
The Nobel Prize winning humanitarian Nelson Mandela had his life support shut down after
he died last night aged 94 at the end of a long battle with illness that ended with his hospitalization and finally his death. While his health problems started in 2011, it was the summer of this year when his
condition worsened.
In February 2011, he was briefly hospitalized with a respiratory infection, attracting international attention. He was then re-hospitalized for a lung infection and gallstone removal in December 2012. After his successful medical procedure in March 2013 did not prevent his lung infection from recurring he was briefly hospitalized in Pretoria.
On June 8, 2013, his lung infection
worsened and he was re-hospitalized in Pretoria in a serious condition.
After four days, it was reported that he had stabilized and that he
remained in a “serious, but stable condition”.
While on his way to
the hospital, the ambulance carrying Mandela broke down and was
stranded on the roadside for 40 minutes. The South African government
was criticized for the incident when it confirmed the report weeks
later. President Jacob Zuma protested: “There were seven doctors in the
convoy who were in full control of the situation throughout the period.
He had expert medical care.”
On June 22, 2013 CBS News reported
that Mandela had not opened his eyes in days and that he was
unresponsive. The family began discussing just how much medical
intervention should be given.
On June 23, 2013 President Jacob
Zuma issued a statement saying that Mandela’s condition had become
“critical.” Zuma, who was accompanied by the Deputy President of the
ANC, Cyril Ramaphosa, met with Mandela’s wife Graca Machel at the
hospital in Pretoria and discussed his condition.
On June 25,
2013, Cape Town Archbishop Thabo Makgoba visited Mandela at the hospital
and prayed with Graca Machel Mandela “at this hard time of watching and
waiting.”
On June 26, 2013, Nelson Mandela was taken off life
support after his condition deteriorated further. Sources have said that
the 94 year-old Mandela died last night after his life support was shut
down.
The Las Vegas Guardian Express writer Laura Oneale also
wrote that in Qunu, the home town of Nelson Mandela, his family got
together with the elders to discuss specific events surrounding the
well-being of Mandela. It has been confirmed that they were talking
about highly sensitive issues.
The grandson of Nelson Mandela
angrily left the meeting over a disagreement of where the former
president was to be buried. Mandela’s daughter, who was seen wearing a
red blanket, and other family members were at the gravesite. It has been
reported that the “red blanket” is part of a tribal ceremony of the
Xhosa. According to Xhosa custom the blanket is used when a family
member has died.
Later in the same day, gravediggers arrived at the Mandela burial site.
Sources
have confirmed that Nelson Mandela died last night after his life
support was shut down and the respected iconic humanitarian has died age
94. Details of the funeral arrangements will be released when they
become available.
