Former president Nelson Mandela.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

After a flurry of rumours \u2013 apparently triggered by a TV news station’s review of 2011 stories \u2013 that Nelson Mandela was not well, the presidency on Friday moved to quell any fears about the nation’s favourite elder statesman.<\/p>\n

Former president Nelson Mandela was in good health, good spirits and enjoying the festive season at his home in Qunu in the Eastern Cape, the presidency said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe presidency has received calls from the media enquiring about Madiba’s health,\u201d spokesman Mac Maharaj said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt appears that an end of year review done by a media house may have unfortunately triggered a rumour of ill-health.\u201d<\/p>\n

ENews, in a review of the year, carried file footage of Madiba being taken to hospital in Joburg in January 2011.<\/p>\n

Maharaj said President Jacob Zuma, on behalf of government and the people of South Africa, wished Madiba a very happy and successful 2012. \u2013 Sapa<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
