BALTIMORE, Maryland, June 24, 2013- Nelson Mandela is said to be in critical condition.  The London Telegraph reports that his family is at his bedside and "praying for a smooth transition" to heaven.  The 94-year-old World Leader is battling a lung infection complicated by tuberculosis.  Jacob Zuma, the South African President, said Mr. Mandela's condition had worsened in the previous 24 hours, according to the Cape Times.  The Zuma government was reeling over the weekend; the Cape Times said, after media reports that Mandela had been forced to spend some 40 minutes in freezing conditions after his ambulance broke down while transporting him to the hospital two weeks earlier.
