Government silent on Mandela operation

 South Africa government  has declined to comment on whether former President Nelson Mandela's life support machine showed he was in distress last week.
Over the weekend the press  reported that Mandela recently underwent a surgical procedure to unlock his dialysis tube and that his life support machine shows he's in distress.
The reports indicates  that Madiba  wasn't responding well to his medications this past week.

Madiba has been treated for a recurring lung infection for over a month and a half at the Mediclinic Heart Hospital in Pretoria. 
He turned 95 on 18 July and his birthday was celebrated in both South Africa and around the world.

It is not yet clear how many more procedures Mandela will have to undergo in order to recuperate. 
The Presidency is yet to release a statement confirming Mandela's operation.
Spokesperson Mac Maharaj reiterated the Presidency’s last statement released on 22 July and said the former President is critical but his condition is improving.
