Former South African President Nelson Mandela has been admitted to a military hospital.

Mandela is receiving medical tests at the facility in Pretoria. 

Current President Jacob Zuma said "there was no cause for alarm" over the 94-year-old's health. 

Zuma said Mandela is doing well and receiving medical care consistent for his age. 

It's not clear what kind of tests Mandela is getting. 

Mandela became South Africa's first black president in 1994.
