JOHANNESBURG (AP) - Nelson Mandela, South Africa's former president and anti-apartheid leader, spent a night in a hospital after he was admitted for scheduled tests, the presidency said Sunday.

Presidential spokesman Mac Maharaj said there were no updates on 94-year-old Mandela's condition since he went to a hospital in Pretoria on Saturday afternoon.

In a statement Saturday, Maharaj said the medical tests for the Nobel laureate were scheduled and that doctors have indicated there is no cause for "alarm."
