Johannesburg - Nelson Mandela has been on life support since Sunday, while his doctors await an instruction from the Mandela family on whether to keep him there or allow him to die. High-ranking government officials told The Star on Wednesday that Mandela was in a coma when President Jacob Zuma announced on Sunday night that the ailing man’s condition had deteriorated from “serious” to “critical”. “He is on life support. He will never make any progress. It seems they will keep him there until they are prepared to inform the nation about the worst. That’s why Zuma has now cancelled his trip to Mozambique. Mandela is not dead. But he is clearly on life support,” a source said. He said it was up to the Mandela family “to give consent for him to be released. He is now at that stage.” Another source said Mandela’s doctors had reached a stage where they felt there was little they could do to save him.
