former president was transferred to another ambulance in freezing
temperatures.But he said there was no threat to Mr Mandela as he was surrounded by intensive care nurses the whole time.
American network CBS quotes sources as saying he had to wait for 40 minutes.
Mr Mandela, 94, was admitted to hospital in Pretoria with a lung infection, in a serious condition, in the early hours of 8 June.
President Jacob Zuma has said his health continues to improve but his condition remains serious.
