[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Mr Zuma said he had been told by doctors that the former president's condition had worsened over the past 24 hours.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]"The doctors are doing everything possible to get his condition to improve and are ensuring that Madiba is well-looked after and is comfortable. He is in good hands," said President [url=http://www.enread.com/news/politics/93141.html]Zuma[/url], using Mr Mandela's clan name by which he is widely known in South Africa. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Mac Maharaj, Mr Zuma's spokesman, told the BBC's Newshour that the doctors' use of the word "critical" was "sufficient explanation that should raise concern amongst us".[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]"Therefore we want to assure the public that the doctors are working away to try and get his condition to improve," he said.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Mr Maharaj added that this was a stressful time for the Mandela family, and appealed for their privacy.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]"I think there is need to be sombre about the news. There is a need not to hold out false hopes but at the same time let's keep him in our thoughts and let's will him more strength," he said.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]The ANC - the party of Mr Mandela and Mr Zuma - said it "noted with concern" the latest reports, and that it joined the [url=http://www.enread.com/news/politics/93141.html]president[/url] in calling "for us all to keep Madiba, his family and medical team in our thoughts and prayers during this trying time".[p=30, 2, left][font=Arial, Helvetica, simsun, u5b8bu4f53][size=14px]
