Nelson Mandela in hospital: Tight South Africa security (BBC)

[eppur_se_muova]

Former South African President Nelson Mandela has stayed in hospital for a second day under medical supervision.

His foundation said Mr Mandela, 92, was merely undergoing routine tests.

Among his visitors at the Johannesburg hospital were his wife, Graca Machel, and his ex-wife, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela.

Security was tight outside the hospital and police were called to control traffic as a scrum of journalists grew outside.

The ruling ANC party called for calm, urging South Africans "not to press any panic buttons".
