Young people attending the June Youth Month discussions at the Lebowakgomo legislature in Limpopo have wished Mandela well. They say they hope Madiba will recover.

Meanwhile more members of the public gathered outside the Pretoria hospital, on Wednesday, where former president Nelson Mandela is critically ill.

About 20 children from the Thanduxolo Day Care Centre arrived at the hospital's Celliers Street entrance to post their hand-made card on the wall and to recite a poem.

Julia Masango, a woman who works at a nearby supermarket, came to show support for her long-time icon.

"I am very sad that he is sick, he must get better or the gods must release him," said Masango.

Madiba's ex-wife Winnie Madikizela-Mandela arrived shortly before 1.45pm.

Security has been increased at the facility. More police are manning its two entrances, and they are using mirrors to inspect the undersides of cars entering the premises.

Tshwane metro police officers cordoned off Celliers Street on Wednesday and were letting through only the cars of journalists and those of people living nearby.

Earlier in the day, Dr Vejay Ramlakan arrived at the hospital.

The presidency said on Tuesday that the anti-apartheid icon remained in a critical condition. - Additional Reporting SAPA
