Nelson Mandela on Saturday
morning underwent endoscopic surgery to have gall stones removed, President
Jacob Zuma's office said in a statement.
The procedure was successful and Mandela, who has
been hospitalised since last weekend due to a recurring lung infection, is
recovering, the statement said.
Mandela has not appeared in public since the 2010
World Cup hosted by South Africa. The former president gets round-the-clock
care since abdominal surgery this year and an acute
respiratory infection in 2011.
