Former South African President Nelson Mandela remains in a hospital on Sunday while he receives treatment for a recurrence of pneumonia.
South African presidential spokesperson Mac Maharaj says there are no updates on 94-year-old Mandela since an official statement on Saturday on his condition.
That statement reported the anti-apartheid leader was breathing without difficulty after having a procedure to clear fluid in his lung area.
Mandela was admitted to a hospital in the capital, Pretoria, near midnight on Wednesday.
It was his third trip to a hospital since December, when he was treated for a lung infection and also had a procedure to remove gallstones.
Earlier in March, he spent a night in a hospital for what officials said was a scheduled medical test.
