President Obama told reporters aboard Air Force One on Friday that he doesn’t yet know if he will try to visit anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela, who is fighting for his life in a South African hospital, once he lands in the country.

“We’ll see what the situation is when we land,” Obama said as he flew from Dakar, Senegal, to Johannesburg, according to The Associated Press.

“I don’t need a photo-op and the last thing I want to do is to be in any way obtrusive at a time when the family is concerned with Nelson Mandela’s condition,” Obama continued.
