Many South African congregations celebrating Easter included Mandela in their prayers.
“The whole world must come together and pray for him,” Zacheus Phakathi, a security guard, said at an outdoor service on a hill overlooking Johannesburg.
In Pretoria, the capital, Henry Hyar, a restaurant waiter, standing by a hospital where Mandela is believed to be, said it was unfortunate that Mandela could not be with his family at home during Easter.
“I’m not happy about it,” Hyar said. “We’re praying for him to get better as soon as possible.”
Mandela seems to be right where he needs to be at this time and he continues to be in our prayers.
Get better Nelson!
