Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted November 18, 2013 Nelson Mandela unable to talk, uses facial expressions to communicate, says ex-wife Winnie Madikizela-Mandela Winnie Madikizela-Mandela says the 95-year-old is not on life support but he was no longer talking "because of all the tubes that are in his mouth to clear [fluid from] the lungs". "He can't actually articulate anything," she told The Sunday Independent newspaper. "He communicates with the face, you see. But the doctors have told us they hope to recover his voice." Mr Mandela was discharged on September 1 to his home in Johannesburg's upmarket Houghton suburb after nearly three months in hospital for a lung infection. Ms Madikizela-Mandela says her former husband is under the care of 22 doctors, and while his pneumonia has cleared, his lungs remain sensitive. "It is difficult for him," she said. "He remains very sensitive to any germs, so he has to be kept literally sterile. The bedroom [in Houghton] is like an ICU ward." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
