South Africa's anti-apartheid hero Nelson Mandela, who is battling for life with a recurring lung infection, today completed a month in hospital.        

Today marks the 30th day the revered democracy icon has been in hospital; this is his longest stay. The 94-year-old statesman has been hospitalised four times since December.        

However, there was no official word today on the medical condition of Mandela, who remains in critical but stable condition at Pretoria's Medi-Clinic Heart Hospital.
