MANDELA STILL CAN'T TALK

Former South Africa  President Nelson Mandela still unable to speak but uses facial expression to express his emotion or communicate, his ex-wife has  told local newspaper.
His ex-wife, Winnie Mandela, said Mandela is "quite ill" but she told the local newspaper that Mandela is not in life support as speculated by media and rumour heard all over.
In September, the 95-year-old returned home after spending nearly three months in the hospital with a recurring lung infection.
The government of South Africa has said the condition is critical sometimes unstable.
He is no longer talking "because of all the tubes that are in his mouth to clear fluid from the lungs", Ms Madikizela- Mandela told South Africa's Sunday Independent Newspaper.
"He can't actually articulate anything... he communicates with his face, you see. But the doctor have told us that they hope they recover his voice.
"I have heard this nonsense that he is on life support, he is not." she added.
'It is difficult for him. He remains very sensitive to any germs, so he has to be kept literally sterile. The bedroom there is like an ICU (Intensive Care Unit) ward."
Mr Mandela has been receiving intensive care at his home in a suburb of Johannesburg, which has been specially adapted  for his care.
The Noble Peace Prize laureate is known around the world for leading the fight against white minority rule in South Africa and preaching reconciliation  with the white community despite being imprisoned for 27 years.
Correspondent say the presidency has been keen to reassure not just for the Mandela family but the nation that he is more vulnerable at home than in Hospital. It has called for Mr Mandela's privacy and dignity to be respected.
