Former South African president Nelson Mandela has been admitted to hospital for tests.
The South African Government said 94-year-old Mandela had been taken to hospital in Pretoria for routine tests, adding that there was 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. He was only in for one night after a keyhole examination showed there was nothing seriously wrong with him.
A statement from President Jacob Zuma's office about his re-admittance gave no details of the condition of the former leader.
"Mandela will receive medical attention from time to time which is consistent with his age," said Mr Zuma's office.
"President Zuma assures all that Madiba is doing well and there is no cause for alarm," it added, referring to Mandela by his clan name.
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 because of his frail health, although in the last few months he has continued to receive high-profile visitors, including former US President Bill Clinton.
