Relatives of Nelson Mandela have visited the former South African president in a hospital where he is being treated for a lung infection.
Zenani Dlamini, one of Mandela's daughters, was among those visiting the 94-year-old anti-apartheid leader on Saturday, his eighth day in a Pretoria hospital.
President Jacob Zuma said Thursday that Mandela was continuing to improve but remains in serious condition.
