Barack Obama Speaks With Mandela's Wife
"Barack Obama has told Nelson Mandela's wife he hopes the ailing former leader "draws peace and comfort from the time he's spending with loved ones".
The US President spoke by telephone to Graca Machel while she stayed at the 94-year-old's hospital bedside.
Mr Obama also met two of the Nobel Peace laureate's daughters and eight of his grandchildren at a private meeting, which lasted 30 minutes, at the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory in Johannesburg.
In a statement after the visit, he said: "I also reaffirmed the profound impact that his legacy has had in building a free South Africa, and in inspiring people around the world - including me.
"That's a legacy that we must all honour in our own lives."
