Rivonia trialist Andrew Mlangeni, 93, admitted to hospital

Former Robben Island political prisoner Andrew Mlangeni (93) has been admitted to a Cape Town hospital this afternoon.

Mlangeni’s family says doctors are treating the ANC veteran for an infection.

His son, Sello Mlangeni, has told Eyewitness News the anti-apartheid icon has been in and out of hospital for the past two weeks.

He says doctors have described his condition as unwell, but stable.

“We can only say that the hospital is in Cape Town, he has been admitted to a private hospital in Cape Town. Doctors say it is an infection, but they are dealing with it and his condition is a bit stable.”
