Former president Nelson Mandela has been admitted to hospital, the presidency said on Saturday morning.

"President Jacob Zuma wishes to advise that ... Mandela was admitted to hospital today, 25 February 2012," it said in a statement.

"Madiba has had a long-standing abdominal complaint and doctors feel it needs proper specialist medical attention."

There was surgery - remember the great one is 93 years old. I am so sad about this.
