South Africa's former President Nelson Mandela was admitted to a
military hospital on Saturday for medical tests, though the nation's
president told the public there was "no cause for alarm" over the
94-year-old icon's health.
The statement issued by President Jacob Zuma's spokesman said that Mandela was doing well and was receiving medical care "which is consistent for his age." The statement offered no other details.
Mandela, who spent 27 years in prison for fighting racist white rule, became South Africa's first black president in 1994 and served one five-year term. He later retired from public life to live in his village of Qunu, and last made a public appearance when his country hosted the 2010 World Cup soccer tournament.
"We wish Madiba all the best," Zuma said in a statement, using Mandela's clan name. "The medical team is assured of our support as they look after and ensure the comfort of our beloved founding president of a free and democratic South Africa."
In February, Mandela spent a night in a hospital for a minor diagnostic surgery to determine the cause of an abdominal complaint. He was hospitalized in January 2011 with a respiratory infection. While Zuma's statement offered no further details about who would provide medical attention for Mandela, the nation's military largely has taken over caring for the aging leader.
Mac Maharaj, a presidential spokesman, declined to say whether Mandela had been flown by the military to Pretoria. He also declined to say what the tests were for. "It's quite normal at his age to be going through those tests," Maharaj told The Associated Press.
Mandela's hospitalization comes just days after the crash of a military aircraft flying on an unknown mission near Mandela's rural home in which all 11 onboard were killed. The plane was flying to a military air base in Mthatha, which is about 30 kilometers (17 miles) north of Qunu. Military officials declined to say whether those on board had any part in caring for Mandela.

‘Agent Provocateur’s’ top model and sensational pop star, Kylie
Minogue tells us how she has managed to maintain her curvy body since so
many years.
The ‘secret to her fitness’ lies in her diet and the kind of workout regime she maintains.
Minogue says that she owes her fit body to Pilates and occasional visits to the gym.
Minogue maintains her slim figure by following a strict diet and a fitness system which is not agonizing to the body and mind.
Minogue says she loves to be on the move and includes physical activities rather than a stringent exercise routine.
“I do Pilates. And when I”m staying in a hotel sometimes go to the gym. But I don’t overdo it. I wish I was one of those women who do their exercises first thing in the morning, or run straight to the fitness studio as soon as they get up. But unfortunately I”m just not that disciplined! I like to go snowboarding in winter,” Minogue told the British magazine Star.
Nevertheless, Kylie Minogue is very particular about what she eats and maintains a strict healthy diet plan. Her ‘fitness secret’ mainly lies…in the diet she takes. She loves to eat fresh green vegetables and fish. She prefers grilled fish and vegetables for lunch and maybe some tuna on a bed of salad for dinner.
