In
South Africa's Eastern Cape province, where Mandela grew up, a
traditional leader said the time was near for Mandela, who is also
known by his clan name, Madiba.
'I
am of the view that if Madiba is no longer enjoying life, and is on
life support systems, and is not appreciating what is happening
around him, I think the good Lord should take the decision to put him
out of his suffering,' said the tribal chief, Phathekile Holomisa.
'I
did speak to two of his family members, and of course, they are in a
lot of pain, and wish that a miracle might happen, that he recovers
again, and he becomes his old self again,' he said.
'But
at the same time they are aware there is a limit to what miracles you
can have.'
A
South African newspaper has also reported the anti-Apartheid
icon is on life support, citing numerous sources close to the
family.
Madiba
is sadly but gradually leaving us, but no matter what happens, we
will always love him and remember his bravery and sacrifice.

lived. Always loving you, Madiba. Tears
fills my eyes.
