Johannesburg – People waited for news about Nelson Mandela on Monday after the Presidency said his condition was critical.

“The condition of former president Nelson Mandela, who is still in hospital in Pretoria, has become critical,” the Presidency said on Sunday night.

The 94-year-old anti-apartheid icon has been in hospital since June 8, fighting a lung infection.

The announcement followed a visit by President Jacob Zuma and African National Congress deputy president Cyril Ramaphosa, who were told by the medical team that Mandela’s condition had become critical in the past 24 hours.

They also met Mandela’s wife Graca Machel to discuss his condition.

“The doctors are doing everything possible to get his condition to improve and are ensuring that Madiba is well looked after and is comfortable,” Zuma said. “He is in good hands.”

Zuma asked that everybody pray for Mandela, his family and the medical team caring for him.

The ANC, which Mandela once led, noted the news “with concern”.

“The ANC joins the Presidency in calling upon all of us to keep president Mandela, his family and his medical team in our thoughts and prayers during this trying time,” it said.

The Nobel Peace Prize laureate’s condition was soon trending on Twitter.

News crews returned to the hospital and to his home in Houghton to be in place for any updates.

The Presidency said Zuma and Ramaphosa had been assured that when the ambulance carrying Mandela broke down, “all care was taken to ensure that his medical condition was not compromised”.

He had “expert” medical care, with seven doctors in the convoy and a fully-equipped military ICU (intensive care unit) ambulance with staff and nurses.

The doctors dismissed media reports that Mandela had suffered cardiac arrest.

“There is no truth at all in that report,” said Zuma.

Meanwhile, Mandela’s eldest daughter Makaziwe Mandela told CNN the family was taking one day at a time.

“All we do every day is take one day at a time and pray to the good Lord,” she told CNN.

“All I pray for as a daughter is that the transition is smooth… He is at peace with himself. He has given so much to the world. I believe he is at peace.”

The family was unsettled by some media reports.

“Nelson Mandela’s blood runs through these veins. Our veins. Give us the space to be with our father. Whether these are the last moments for us to be with our dad, or (if) there is still longer, they must back off.”

CNN reported that she also addressed how much medical treatment her father should receive.

“In our culture, the Tembu culture, you never release the person unless the person has told you: ‘Please my children, my family, release me.’ My dad hasn’t said that to us.

“So these people who want to talk about, you know, release him: he hasn’t said we should release him and we haven’t come to the end yet. It is only God who knows the end.” – Sapa

Petros reportedly calls in investigative help from the spirit world.

Gauteng police chief Lieutenant General Mzwandile Petros has allegedly roped in a sangoma to investigate after a break-in at his Parktown, Johannesburg, office this week.

Captain Nomathemba Mgwebile, the sangoma who works as an executive secretary in Petros’ office, was brought in to “sniff out” those responsible for the burglary on Monday.

Petros’ office was broken into on the eve of Major General Tirhani Maswanganyi’s murder this week, but nothing was stolen from it.

The suspects dug a hole through the ceiling of one of the toilets and walked into the police chief’s office.

Three independent sources told City Press that Petros called Mgwebile to perform sangoma rituals in an attempt to identify those responsible for the incident.

Mgwebile, who is known as “Vumani Mahosi” and moved with Petros to Gauteng when he was appointed from the Western Cape in 2010, told a team of investiga-tors she smelt “the smell of a wet dog” in Petros’ office.

“But we don’t know what she meant by that. I think it’s sangoma language,” said a police officer with direct knowledge of the investigation.

The officer said Petros had refused to use his office since the incident as he suspected spy cameras were planted and his office line was bugged.

Detectives combed the entire office looking for any spy cameras, but found nothing.

“They did not find spy cameras and nothing was stolen from his office. They did not find fingerprints, but found footprints,” the officer said.

When the detectives reported to Petros that they did not find anything, the dog- and crime-intelligence units were summoned to the office.

Telkom officials were allegedly also called in to check whether Petros’ telephone line was bugged.

Investigators also questioned the security personnel guarding the building about the incident, who told them they believed it was an inside job.

The officer said: “This is what worried Petros, as everything points to an inside job. He is unpopular among many police officers and this justifies his suspicion that those opposed to him might be behind this incident – also because it happened a day before Maswanganyi’s murder.”

Speculation about Mgwebile doubling as Petros’ sangoma has been a hot topic of discussion among Gauteng police officers since his arrival in the province in 2010.

In 2011, the Sunday Times reported that Petros cancelled a crime-fighting strategy meeting attended by about 200 senior police officers after Mgwebile warned they were plotting against him.

Mgwebile allegedly arrived at the meeting, shouted “Vumani bo” (The ancestors are speaking) and knelt down.

Petros then ordered everyone to leave the boardroom, consulted with Mgwebile and told the officers the “spirits” had told Mgwebile that some of the generals and brigadiers were plotting to kill him. He then cancelled the meeting.

City Press understands that Mgwebile was called in to another meeting of senior police officers in recent months.

Petros’ spokesperson, Brigadier Neville Malila, didn’t respond to specific questions about Mgwebile’s role, her involvement in criminal investigations and whether part of her job is to advise Petros.

Referring to the Sunday Times article, Malila said: “It is not the first time that these allegations surfaced, and we thought it was dealt with before in 2011 and has been dealt with as there was no basis for the allegation.”

Malila confirmed that Petros’ office was broken into.

“The office can confirm that an office door was found open on Tuesday morning, June 18 2013, and, upon further investigation, footprints were found. As we are duty-bound to report incidents of this nature, it was reported.

“It is unknown if anything was taken. Investigations are under way,” said Malila.

Malila confirmed that Petros did not report for duty this week, but said it was because he was mourning Maswanganyi’s death.

He also denied that there was a link between the burglary and Maswanganyi’s murder.

“This office and the SA Police Service . . . are mourning the death of one of our most respected generals and there is no evidence or reason to suggest that there are linkages between this incident and the death of (Maswanganyi),” said Malila.

“The provincial commissioner was out of office for the better part of the week as he is mourning, not only the loss of a colleague but the loss of a relative.” – Additional reporting by Adriaan Basson
