The ruling party's secretary
general today said that former president Nelson Mandela will not attend the
ANC's centenary celebrations in the Mangaung municipality in the Free
State during the weekend.
Gwede Mantashe says that it would be unreasonable for any
South African to expect Tata Mandela to travel from Mthatha to Bloemfontein .
He also mentioned that he
visited Mandela in his home town Qunu in the Eastern
Cape during December. Mnatashe said that Mandela is in
good spirits but very, very old.
Earlier in the week, ANC chairperson Baleka
Mbete told journalists the party hoped Mandela would be able to be there.
