South Africa’s president says that Nelson Mandela remains in serious but stable condition during his fourth day in the hospital.

Nelson Mandela, the anti-apartheid leader who became South Africa’s first black president, has been admitted to a hospital with a recurring lung infection, South Africa said Thursday.
