Nelson Mandela's daughter Makaziwe Mandela has hit out at "racists" and "vultures" in the media, as the presidency says the anti-apartheid icon has improved overnight. After visiting him in his Pretoria hospital, Makaziwe said her father - who is reportedly no longer able to breathe unassisted - is still "very critical".
"Anything is imminent, but I want to emphasise again that it is only God who knows when the time to go is," she told the public broadcaster SABC. "I won't lie, it doesn't look good. But as I say, if we speak to him, he responds and tries to open his eyes.
"He's still there. He might be waning off, but he's still there." She also criticized the "crass" media frenzy, likening the media to vultures.
"It's like truly vultures waiting when a lion has devoured a buffalo, waiting there you know for the last carcasses, that's the image that we have as a family," she said
