In South Africa, song and prayer for Mandela on eve of Obama visit

Pretoria, South Africa (CNN) 

-- South Africans sang and prayed late Thursday outside the hospital where Nelson Mandela is being treated, singing "Viva Mandela!" after news the anti-apartheid icon's condition had stabilized.

Colorfully dressed women danced in front of the Pretoria hospital where candles burned, the South African Press Association reported.

Hundreds of people from the African National Congress Youth League and Women's League sang struggle songs, danced, and marched up and down the street in front of the hospital, according to the state-run South African Broadcasting Corp.

"There is no other like him," they sang.
