It seems that Rafa Nadal received some bad information on the former South African President's health as he tweeted today:
Which translates as:
Today we lost one of the most important and relevant to our world. Rest in peace # NelsonMandela
He has since deleted the tweet, which went out to his 4.45 millions followers, and confirmed that Mandela is still with is.
Tenía información equivocada y por ahora #NelsonMandela no nos ha dejado. Ojalá este con nosotros mucho tiempo, lo que hizo estará siempre.

Which translates as:
I had wrong information and for now #NelsonMandela has not left us. Hopefully he will be with us for a long time, what he did will always remain.
That's a lesson to all of us to never trust Rafa Nadal as a reliable news source when it comes to world affairs.
