High- level politicians and friends visited anti-apartheid struggle stalwart Ahmed Kathrada at a Johannesburg hospital last night. The 87 year old Rivonia trialist's condition deteriorated sharply yesterday. Kathrada was hospitalised earlier this month for surgery related to blood clotting on the brain. He has since experienced several post-operation complications and has pneumonia affecting both lungs, rendering his condition serious. Sakina Kamwendo speaks to Executive Director of the Ahmed Kathrada Foundation, Neeshan Balton, for the latest developments.
