Johannesburg – Nelson Mandela was admitted to a hospital in Pretoria Saturday to undergo tests and was said to be doing well, the South Africa government said.<\/p>\n

The 94-year-old former president and anti-apartheid icon was admitted for tests “consistent with his age”, the office of President Jacob Zuma said.<\/p>\n

The government insisted there was “no cause for alarm”.<\/p>\n

Madiba, as he is affectionately known by South Africans, has all-but retired from public life, choosing to live in his childhood hometown of Qunu in the rural Eastern Cape.<\/p>\n

Villagers in the town reported a slightly unusual movement of police around Mandela’s Qunu homestead earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

He was later flown from Qunu to the capital Pretoria, around 900km away.<\/p>\n

A traditional leader for the village, Nokwanele Balizulu, told AFP she saw Mandela shortly before he was taken to hospital.<\/p>\n

“I was called by the Mandela family saying Tata [grandfather] is not well. I rushed there and I saw he is not well,” she said in the local Xhosa dialect.<\/p>\n

Rumours of his failing health or even death flare up periodically, forcing the government to issue assurances that all is well.<\/p>\n
