Nelson Mandela's close family on Tuesday gathered to hear a sombre prayer wishing the anti-apartheid icon a “peaceful, perfect, end” as he lay in hospital in critical condition.
Cape Town Archbishop Thabo Makgoba visited Pretoria's Mediclinic Heart Hospital to pray with Mandela’s wife Graca Machel “at this hard time of watching and waiting”.
