While Nelson Mandela remains in critical condition, according to the South African government and multiple sources, Sky News has confirmed that he is no longer able to breathe unassisted.
In the Eastern Cape, where Mandela will be buried, a member of the tribal authority confirmed that the clan had been told that he is extremely ill and although it is against Xhosa tradition to even discuss the death of a living person, they should prepare for the worst.
