Tight security at Mandela hospital

IOLnews reports that the main entrance to the hospital in Arcadia was guarded by six police officers.

All vehicles entering the facility were checked and searched.

Despite the biting cold in Pretoria local and international journalists were monitoring events at the two entrances.

Barricades were erected at the spot where journalists had been camping on Monday forcing the press to move across the street.

Police tape was used to cordon off the area.

The ailing statesman will spend his fourth day in hospital.

Mandela was admitted to hospital in the early hours of Saturday morning.

The presidency at the time said he was in a “serious but stable” condition. – Sapa
