Nelson Mandela’s tribal leaders have been told to prepare for the death of the former president, who remains in hospital on life support. The advice comes after meetings with the family over the past two days.
Senior tribal leaders – including Mr Mandela’s tribal heir, grandson Mandla Mandela – are expected to visit the hospital for further talks with family members.
Nelson Mandela remains in critical condition, according to the South African government, and multiple sources have confirmed to Sky News that he is no longer able to breathe unassisted.
In the Eastern Cape, where Mr Mandela will be buried, a member of the tribal authority confirmed that the clan had been told that he is extremely ill and although it is against Xhosa tradition to even discuss the death of a living person, they should prepare for the worst.
