Anti-apartheid leader and former
South African President Nelson Mandela was discharged from hospital and returned
home on Sunday after being treated for a recurring lung infection.President
Jacob Zuma's office said the government would like to wish Mr Mandela "all
the best" as he continues his recovery at his Johannesburg home.
In a statement, the government said:
"Madiba's condition remains critical and is at times unstable. 'Nevertheless,
his team of doctors are convinced that he will receive the same level of
intensive care at his Houghton home that he received in Pretoria.'His home has
been reconfigured to allow him to receive intensive care there. The health care
personnel providing care at his home are the very same who provided care to him
in hospital.'If there are health conditions that warrant another admission to
hospital in future, this will be done.'
His condition has fluctuated since
he was admitted to hospital in June with a lung infection.The illness is said
to date back to his days in prison during his anti-apartheid campaign.
