{{President Jacob Zuma has sought to reassure South Africans as Nelson Mandela is being treated for the recurrence of a lung infection.}}
Zuma said that people “must not panic” and that the former president was doing “very well” so far.
The 94-year-old was admitted to hospital before midnight on Wednesday.
He spent 18 days in hospital in December undergoing treatment for a lung infection and gallstones.
In a statement released earlier, Mr Zuma’s office said the ex-leader was “responding positively” to treatment.
The presidency has not identified the hospital where Mr Mandela is being treated.
