Doctors treating the anti-apartheid hero and former South African president, Nelson Mandela have begged the family members to consider turning off his life support to allow him die peacefully and avoid prolonging his suffering, it was revealed last night.
Court documents say medics recommended the heartbreaking
decision to pull the plug TEN DAYS AGO because South Africa’s anti-apartheid
hero is now in a “permanent vegetative state”.
The news came as a bitter feud over where the 94-year-old
former president should be buried appeared to be resolved.
A slanging match wife Graca Machel, 67, and eldest daughter
Makaziwe, 59, were having with his grandson Mandla culminated yesterday with
the reburial of his three dead children at his childhood home in remote Qunu,
Eastern Cape.
