Burial plans for Nelson Mandela discussed as he finds it hard to breath!

Sky news reports thus:
Nelson Mandela’s tribal leaders have been told to
prepare for the death of the former president, who remains in hospital
on life support.

The advice comes after meetings with the family over the past two days.
Senior tribal leaders – including Mr Mandela’s tribal heir, grandson
Mandla Mandela – are expected to visit the hospital for further talks
with family members.
Nelson Mandela remains in critical condition, according to the South
African government, and multiple sources have confirmed to Sky News that
he is no longer able to breathe unassisted.
In the Eastern Cape, where Mr Mandela will be buried, a member of the
tribal authority confirmed that the clan had been told that he is
extremely ill and although it is against Xhosa tradition to even discuss
the death of a living person, they should prepare for the worst.

There are a series of tribal rituals that will be observed by the
family and the nation throughout this period and during the funeral, 
although Mr Mandela, a Methodist, will be given a Christian burial.
“He has done so much for this country, it is terribly sad but we have
to accept it however hard it may seem,” said a lady reading messages
pinned to the hospital wall.
The office of President Jacob Zuma says that Mr Mandela remains
critical but the President, asking the nation to pray, added that  South
Africa had to accept that “Madiba is old”.
Oh by the way, President Barack Obama’s imminent visit to South Africa excited ailing
former President Nelson Mandela, his daughter said yesterday.
Zindzi Mandela said she said to her father: “Obama is coming. He opened his eyes and gave me a smile.”
