Former South African president Nelson Mandela has been admitted to hospital for routine tests.
The South African Government said 94-year-old Mandela had been taken to hospital in Pretoria for tests consistent with old age, adding that he "is doing well and there is no cause for alarm".
The anti-apartheid icon is known to be in frail health and has not made public appearances for a few years.
He was last taken to hospital in February after suffering from persistent abdominal pain.
In the face of his re-admittance to hospital, the office of South Africa's president, Jacob Zuma, issued reassurance that all is well.
"Mandela will receive medical attention from time to time which is consistent with his age," said Mr Zuma's office in a statement.
Mandela spent 27 years in prison for his fight against white minority rule under apartheid, becoming the country's first black president in 1994 at the end of white minority rule.
He turned 94 in July and has not appeared in public since South Africa's Football World Cup final in 2010.
