Mandela 'responding to treatment'

South African President Jacob Zuma Saturday visited Nelson Mandela in hospital and said he was responding to treatment, two weeks after being admitted for tests which revealed a recurring lung infection.

Zuma urged the nation to keep praying for the 94-year-old anti-apartheid hero and revered statesman.
