Nelson Mandela was discharged on
Saturday from the hospital where he had been undergoing treatment for
pneumonia, South Africa’s presidency said in a statement.
The
decision to release the 94-year-old, anti-apartheid icon was taken
“following a sustained and gradual improvement in his general
condition,” the statement said.
“The former President will now
receive home-based high care,” it added. “President [Jacob] Zuma thanks
the hard-working medical team and hospital staff for looking after
Madiba so efficiently."
The statement said Zuma also extended “his gratitude to all South Africans and friends” of the country in Africa and overseas.
