Nelson Mandela 'Madiba' celebrates 95th birthday - July 18. Alive but not well.

Former South African president Nelson Mandela will spend his 95th birthday in hospital Thursday, but was said to be making “remarkable” progress.
As admirers around the world prepare to honour his legacy through a tidal wave of charitable acts, Mandela’s youngest daughter said her father was now able to communicate and watch television.

He is making remarkable progress,” Zindzi told Britain’s Sky News adding that when she visited him on Tuesday he was “watching TV with his headphones”.

He responds very well… with his eyes, and he nods and sometimes he lifts his hand like to shake your hand.”

Here's wishing Madiba a happy birthday and quick and complete recovery.
