The African
National Congress said showing images of a frail former president Nelson
Mandela was the right thing to do as the world needed to see him.
There was an outcry
after footage of Former President Nelson Mandela was shown on television in his
house during a visit by President Jacob Zuma, ANC deputy president Cyril
Ramaphosa, Chairperson Baleka Mbete and his medical team.
ANC Spokesperson
Jackson Mthembu said they are happy Mandela is well, and they had made a
decision that the nation, Africa and the world should see him.
“Of course we are
aware that Madiba is old and also frail, but that does not take away our love
for him and the love of all South Africans and people of the world” Mthembu
added.
