Mandela's health: Archbishop in 'peaceful end' prayer

YEREVAN, JUNE 26, ARMENPRESS: A leading South African cleric has prayed for ex-President Nelson Mandela's "peaceful end" as he remains in a critical condition in hospital, reports Armenpress referring to BBC.

Archbishop Thabo Makgoba visited Mr Mandela, 94, in hospital in Pretoria, praying with his wife Graca Machel.

Elders from Mr Mandela's Tembu clan are due to visit Mr Mandela on Wednesday, local media say.

Mr Mandela's condition became critical on Sunday, following his admission on 8 June with a recurring lung infection.

The scene at the hospital, where well-wishers have decorated a wall with flowers and supportive messages, is described as quiet, save for waiting journalists.
