Ailing former South African president Nelson Mandela is said to be showing great resilience though his condition becomes unstable at times.
The health of the anti-apartheid hero is still critical but stable, a statement from the South African president's office said.
The 95-yeard-old is in hospital in Pretoria two-and-a-half months after being admitted with a recurring lung infection, the BBC reports.
According to the report, the statement said doctors were still working hard to bring about a turnaround in his health.
