Mandela was readmitted to
a hospital this week for a recurring lung infection. Doctors say
Mandela is making "steady progress," according to Friday's statement.
It's the second time this
month he has been hospitalized. More than two weeks ago, he was taken
to a hospital for what officials described as a routine checkup.
Nelson Mandela 'responding positively'
Mandela has become
increasingly frail over the years, and has not appeared in public since
South Africa hosted the World Cup in 2010.
He underwent treatment
for a lung infection and had surgery to remove gallstones over the
Christmas holiday in 2012, one of his longest hospital stays since his
release from prison in 1990.
