Pray for him, say Mandela's grandchildren on Twitter as he lies in 'critical condition' in hospital.

Nelson Mandela is fighting for his life after a sudden deterioration in his health last night.
The 94-year-old former South African president was said to be ‘critical’ after being admitted to hospital for treatment for a recurrent lung infection.
His two granddaughters Swati Dlamini and Zaziwe Dlamini-Manaway today tweeted in support of their ill grandfather, describing him as their 'rock' who glued them together.
They wrote: 'He is our rock, we are firmly glued together because of him. We are UNITED!'
Their message came just a few hours after they asked supporters to pray for him. They posted: ‘Let us never forget to pray. God lives. He is near. He is real. He is not only aware of us but cares for us.’


News of Mandela’s condition emerged after he was visited by South African president Jacob Zuma last night.
He today told a press conference: 'The doctors are doing everything possible to ensure his well-being and comfort.'

Pressed for further details on Nelson Mandela's health, President Jacob Zuma said: 'I can't tell you what is wrong with him ... I am not a doctor'.
He confirmed that he had seen Mr Mandela in hospital last night, and that he had been asleep at the time. He said he had discussions with the doctors and with Mr Mandela's wife.
Mr Zuma said he was briefed by Mr Mandela’s medical team and told that his condition had ‘become critical over the past 24 hours’.
Last night his immediate family were said to be discussing whether to withdraw treatment.
It followed revelations that the ambulance which took Mr Mandela to Pretoria hospital earlier this month broke down en route, leaving him stranded on the roadside for 40 minutes in winter temperatures.

South African government officials have said ‘great care was taken to ensure that Mandela’s health was not compromised and that his doctors were satisfied the former president suffered no harm.’Graca Machel, Mr Mandela’s wife, was at his bedside last night. As well as suffering from tuberculosis, Mr Mandela has also been treated for the early signs of prostate cancer and had a knee replaced.
