Johannesburg — Former President Nelson Mandela continues to respond to treatment as he marks two weeks of being in hospital, the Presidency said on Saturday afternoon.
Earlier in the day President Jacob Zuma visited Mandela and "assured him of the love and support of all South Africans, young and old, and the whole world," said presidential spokesman Mac Maharaj in a statement.
"We urge South Africans to continue praying for our beloved Madiba during this period. Our hearts are with the whole family and relatives."
Mandela, who is 94-years-old, was diagnosed with a lung infection and also underwent gallstone surgery.
He was originally flown to hospital in Pretoria from his Eastern Cape home at Qunu on December 8.
According to Associated Press, on Thursday, President Zuma gave the first official acknowledgement that Mandela's condition has been grave.
"I've been informed that, at his age, doctors need to intervene in a very gradual and sensitive way in order to maximize the chances of a full recovery," Zuma said at the time.
"The medical team has our full confidence and he is receiving the best care possible."
Mandela has a history of lung problems having suffered from tuberculosis towards the end of the 27 years he spent in prison.
His current stay in hospital is his longest since he was freed over two decades ago.

The only word Equality brings fear and discomfort in Countries that have glorified the cult of Individualism like USA, England, Israel and others.
For over 2,000 years Equality has been the antithesis of the centralized power which ever since has raged against it with all means to even confuse the platform upon which is based the same Christian Religion.
In our time, mortal enemy of Equality is the same hand of the Zionists hidden today inside the glove of the CIA that killed promoters like the 2 Kennedy and Martin Luther King.
To oppose Equality, the conspirators have found their most convenient ally in one particular passage of the Jewish Belief, or in the prophecy predicting the rise of one "chosen people" from God (redefined today as Belief in "Exceptionalism").
These individuals have already infiltrated many governments among the most powerful Countries. They have also unified their influence under one same "shadow government" pulling the strings of those Countries. Their agenda is kept secret from the public and hidden behind the same propaganda you see and hear in different languages on TVs all over the World ...... also ..... It's not so simple to deal with the stubborn ignorance and apathy of the people. Our cultures have been highly influenced by those same Religions that still today demonstrate how to live in a pyramidal system made of many casts, from priests to Popes. Over the centuries, this has accustomed the people to live without mutual Respect and to coexist within a system of subordination and mental slavery.
A change of direction in the Destiny of Humankind will coincide with a new way to view ourselves.
The Awakening will have to include at least 3 changes among the people:
1) One new Awareness. The Creation now revealed as One single broken mirror which is formed by the symmetries of Its fragments also reveals one interconnection between all of us. As Wavevolution shows how the origin of all energy, including the human being, was first waves and then mass, it also opens our eyes to our Equality. New Awareness of the Creation will lead to a new way to view ourselves and a new form of mutual Respect.
2) One basic understanding of the similarities between Judaism, Christianity and Islam which are like 3 branches of one same tree. These 3 Religions base their Beliefs on the Bible and on the same deceiving description of God invented by Moses about 3,500 years ago. Today it is as if one Rabbi, one Pope and one Imam were yelling 3 views of the World from the top of 3 pyramids. 3 screams but one same concept. Any pyramidal view of the World is always enemy of the horizontal Equality which is the base for mutual Respect. The blasphemy of Moses expressed by these 3 Religions has now taken into a new role. One group of individuals uses these 3 as instruments for one War which is apparently between Religions but it is instead instigated by a conspiracy to dominate the World.
3) Knowledge of the various steps of the Zionist Plan. It is possible to read it like in a screenplay of a movie and recognize the many sequences that these individuals are trying to reproduce. In the next scene, it is as if someone were knocking at your door and holding one “sacred” book on one hand and one knife on the other behind his back. The people should start to recognize the names of these individuals who work behind the scenes and use the Bible as a weapon to instigate a World War of Religion and to build in the end the largest pyramid: a New World Order.
