Nelson Mandela much better today - Jacob Zuma
South African President Jacob Zuma says that Nelson Mandela's condition has improved, but still remains critical.
"He is much better today than he was when I saw him last night," Mr Zuma said after speaking to the 94-year-old's medical team.
South Africa's first black president - an icon of the anti-apartheid struggle - has been in hospital in Pretoria since 8 June with a lung infection.
Mr Zuma cancelled a visit to Mozambique to visit Mr Mandela in hospital.
