"Nelson Mandela has been hospitalised again due to a worsening lung condition, it has been reported.  The former South African president was rushed to a Pretoria hospital on Saturday (June 8) for treatment of an ongoing lung infection.   In a statement to the BBC, a spokesperson for current South African leader Jacob Zuma revealed that Mandela is in &amp;quot;serious but stable condition&amp;quot;. They added: &amp;quot;The former President is receiving expert medical care and doctors are doing everything possible to make him better and comfortable. &amp;quot;President Jacob Zuma, on behalf of government and the nation, wishes Madiba [Mandela&amp;#039;s clan name] a speedy recovery and requests the media and the public to respect the privacy of Madiba and his family.&amp;quot; Mandela, known for his human rights work against apartheid, celebrated his 94th birthday last July. Idris Elba will play Mandela in a biopic later this year. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
